Learning the Language of the Brain
Dr. Nanthia Suthana, who joined the Duke Department of Neurosurgery earlier this year as a Duke Science and Technology Scholar, studies the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior. At Duke, she is continuing the cutting-edge research she began at UCLA, using advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiology technologies to investigate and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Suthana Lab joins Duke Department of Neurosurgery
Nanthia Suthana, PhD, and her team have joined the Duke Department of Neurosurgery. Suthana specializes in studying the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior in naturalistic settings. She develops and applies invasive neuroimaging and electrophysiology techniques, including mobile intracranial recordings and deep brain stimulation, to investigate memory, spatial navigation, and neurostimulation-based therapies. At Duke, Dr. […]
Kempner’s Seminar Series – Neural Dynamics of Memory, Navigation, and Threat Detection: Implications for AI & Brain-Inspired Learning Systems
Dr. Suthana was invited to speak at the Kempner’s Seminar Series at Harvard University, February 2025. This talk explores fundamental neural mechanisms involved in memory formation, spatial navigation, and threat detection, using a unique approach of neural recordings from patients with neural implants who are able to move freely in real-world environments. I will first […]
Pushing Boundaries: Memory Enhancement, Virtual Reality, and Trauma Therapy in Neuroscience
Dr. Suthana was invited to speak to Andreas Horn who interviews experts in the field of deep brain stimulation, noninvasive neuromodulation, functional brain imaging, and neuroanatomy. Andreas Horn, M.D., Ph.D., directs the Institute for Network Stimulation and is a professor of computational neurology at the University of Cologne. Listen
Congrats to Jay for successfully defending his thesis
More exciting lab news! Jay Gill @_iamjay MD/PhD student in the lab is defending his thesis next Monday! Join to hear about closed-loop amygdala stimulation to treat patients with PTSD. Also rare amygdala recordings in freely-moving humans during fear conditioning! ? pic.twitter.com/Doa9tNJ1HY — Nanthia Suthana (@SuthanaLab) May 2, 2023
A wearable platform for closed-loop stimulation and recording of single-neuron and local field potential activity in freely moving humans

She sat down to talk about her research using permanent brain implants to study learning and memory in humans, her uncharted […]
Jay Gill receives F31/NRSA grant
Congrats to Jay Gill for just receiving the Notice of Award for an NRSA F31… & with a score of 12 (1 %)! tweet by Jay (@_iamjay): ND -> 1st %! Poured my heart into my 1st NRSA submission and was absolutely gutted when it wasn’t discussed. Extremely thankful for my advisors @SuthanaLab @JonathanCKao for […]
