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.  Read More

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 […]

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

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
