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
Invasive brain recordings in humans, learning as a PI, and the joys of mentorship
Dr. Suthana was interviewed by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith and featured in the BJKS podcast, a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related. Listen
Clinical Trial for PTSD
Check out the new video on our clinical trial for treatment-refractory PTSD. Hear from a patient in the trial now in remission, sharing their story. Recruitment is ongoing. Please help spread the word. WAtch Video
Have Neuroscientists found a New Treatment for PTSD?
JT Parr swung by the lab & we had some fun chatting about the brain. His curiosity led to some interesting questions. Plus, we put him to the test with one of our new mobile VR tasks. Check out the full episode on the YouTube series, “Chad & JT Go Deep†Watch Video
Human Neuroscience in the Wild – Suthana Lab Presents in the Symposium at the Annual Brain Initiative Meeting
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
Congrats to Matthias for accepting a tenure track faculty position at Boston University
Congratulations to lab member @MatStangl who will be starting his own lab next year at BU! The Stangl Lab will surely be one to watch! Proud PI! ??? https://t.co/JVLd7OpQkc — Nanthia Suthana (@SuthanaLab) April 17, 2023
