Nobuo Suga (born December 17, 1933[2]) is a Japanese biologist noted for his research on the neurophysiology of hearing, and echolocation in bats.
[3] After earning a bachelor's degree in biology at Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1958, Nobuo studied for his doctoral thesis on the neurophysiology of hearing with Yatsuji Katsuki at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
From there, his career took him to UCLA and UC San Diego School of Medicine, before finally arriving at Washington University in St. Louis.
[3] Suga's work revealed much about the location and function of auditory system in the brain.
His recent work has focused on the plasticity of the auditory system mediated by cortico-cortical interactions and corticofugal feedback.
