Nanthia Suthana

Big news! 🎉 The lab will be moving to Duke University in 2025 where I will serve as a tenured Professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery & Biomedical Engineering!

May help explain cross-species differences. In rodents, hippocampal theta is more continuous & linked 2 mov’t speed, while in humans it is intermittent, possibly because it aligns with discrete, eye movement, related exploratory behavior rather than movement speed as we show here

New lab paper! 🧠 Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements. plos.io/4dwJhR8 Huge congrats to @humza_n_zubair & team! 👏

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative. It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote👇 to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community thetransmitter.org/animal-models/…

We’re hiring! The Suthana Lab @ Duke is looking for a Research Assistant to join our team studying human memory & real-world 🧠 dynamics using wearable tech & intracranial recordings Apply: careers.duke.edu/job/Durham-C... You can also email suthanalab@duke.edu. Please share!

Was a honor to give this SfN Special Lecture & share 10 yrs of work from the lab on its 10th anniversary! Thankful to the incredible lab members, collaborators & participant volunteers who made this work possible. Link to video recording here👇 youtube.com/watch?v=TVhDD2…

Nanthia Suthana studies the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior. The @SuthanaLab at Duke Neurosurg. is using using advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiology technologies to investigate and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders. #PTSD neurosurgery.duke.edu/news/learning-…

Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded an NRSA F30 grant from @NIMHgov ! To study neural mechanisms of avoidance/pursuit during human ambulatory navigation. Special thanks to mentors @SuthanaLab @ausaf and all with the @uclacaltechmstp @dgsomucla for support and guidance!

@christinamaher_ Thank you! 😊

@SuthanaLab Congrats! Can't wait to see the exciting work your group continues to do. ☺️🎉

It’s official-My lab has moved to Duke University! Excited to start as a Professor of Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering and for the new collaborations and discoveries ahead.

@alcinojsilva Thanks Alcino, and for all your support 🙏

@SuthanaLab Sad to see you go! A great loss for UCLA!!!!

@may_khanna Thank you!

@SuthanaLab Congratulations!

@erichjarvis Thanks Erich! That would be amazing!

@SuthanaLab Congratulations. My former stomping grounds. Great place. Will come visit next time I’m around.

@Cogan_G Thanks Greg! Looking forward to working with you!

@SuthanaLab We're very excited to have you here at Duke!!!

@_janzimmermann_ Thank you!

Congrats

Absolutely thrilled to be joining @StanfordNsurg! This dream has been decades in the making, made possible by the support and sacrifices of so many. Grateful beyond words- hope to make you proud and hope to make a difference!

Congrats to former PhD student & lab member Sabrina Maoz!! 🥳👏🎉 Stanford is lucky to have you!

Congrats former PhD student & lab member @_iamjay !! 🥳🎉 Stanford is so lucky to have you!

In just 10 yrs, BRAIN has enabled human research I never thought possible, leading to first-in-human discoveries & breakthrough treatments for PTSD, Depression, OCD, Parkinson’s & more. For many of these patients, they will tell you it’s the reason they are alive today.

I recently spoke at a Congressional briefing with a military veteran from our PTSD clinical trial on the life-changing impact of the NIH Brain Initiative. Watch here👇 braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl… The BRAIN Initiative is now facing a 20% cut on top of the 40% last yr…
