Excited to announce that I’ve been awarded an NRSA F30 from the NIMH! I’ll be studying neural mechanisms of avoidance/pursuit during human ambulatory navigation. Special thanks to mentors @suthanalab.bsky.social, Dr Ausaf Bari, and the @dgsomucla.bsky.social for support and guidance!

The lab is officially up & running at Duke! 🥳 Huge thanks to @dukemedschool.bsky.social for the amazing space, & to our lab team for getting everything installed & operational within a month 😅 Excited for what’s ahead!

Gigantic team effort that thanks to all the amazing collaborators and @simonsfoundation.org is now official. Team NHP will use @anamanea.bsky.social tetris task across multiple labs. Stay tuned ! www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s...

Very excited to be part of this. Huge thank you to the @simonsfoundation.org for their support and vision. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... Also, job openings in this context! Please apply and forward to anyone who may be interested! hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/367...

We are excited to announce our new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE)! This program will unite experts in experimental and computational #neuroscience approaches to investigate how the brain represents sensorimotor interactions. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... #science

🤩 So excited to work with this amazing team & @simonsfoundation.org to further Ecological Neuroscience #SCENE

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.

Woah, huge congrats to Jay (Neurosurgery) and Sabrina (Head & Neck Surgery), former PhD students and lab members, on matching at Stanford! 🎉 What are the odds?! 🤯Stanford is incredibly lucky to have these two brilliant minds! 👏

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/... The BRAIN Initiative is now facing a 20% cut on top of the 40% last yr…

Suthana et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. They show that neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly. @suthanalab.bsky.social @seeber.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🧪☀️⬇️ Join us at the Lincoln Memorial or your local site to Stand Up for Science!

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

My research wouldn’t be possible without NIH & 🧠 Initiative funding. I will be sharing this at an upcoming congressional briefing alongside Adam, a combat veteran with PTSD, who hugely benefitted from our NIH-funded clinical trial. Everyone is welcome. For more on Adam’s story👇 & to Register here:

Please join us at our @cosynemeeting.bsky.social 2025 Workshop on Navigation under Uncertainty, organized by Máté Lengyel (Cambridge & CEU) and myself, and taking place on March 31 in the Fairmont Tremblant, Mont-Tremblant, Canada. #neuroskyence 🧠

Proud to be one of many who contributed to this important article. With typical postdocs joining labs in their 30s & staying 6 yrs, combined with low pay, the impact on women wanting to start a family is real. No wonder I waited to have my first child as a new PI. #Postdocs #WomenInScience

👋 Bluesky friends! I’m Nanthia Suthana, an Associate Prof @ UCLA, soon moving my lab to Duke U in 2025. My research focuses on human memory using mobile neurotech & wearables to study real-world behavior. 🧠✨ Bonus news - new lab paper accepted today! 🥳 Excited to share details with you here soon! 🦋
