Jen talks to acclaimed Professor of Neural Science, Joseph LeDoux about how memory shapes our emotions, the limitations of anxiety medication, why people are not getting it right when they call the amygdala the "fear center", and Joseph talks about his band The Amygdaloids.
Joseph LeDoux has been working on the link between emotion, memory, and the brain since the 1990s. He's credited with putting the amygdala in the spotlight and making this previously esoteric subcortical brain region a household term.
LeDoux founded the Emotional Brain Institute (EBI). He’s also a professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center.
