Joseph LeDoux and The Amygdaloids

In this scientific and musical program, learn how memories are formed, stored and retrieved in the brain. Explore the underlying neural systems that evolved as behavioral solutions to survival problems—the so-called fear system. Professor Joseph LeDoux is a member of The Amygdaloids, a band made up of neuroscientists Daniela Schiller, Nina Galbraith Curley and Tyler Volk, that hopes its music makes the field more accessible to the public. LeDoux is the Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science and a professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University. He is the author of The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life and Synaptic Self: How Our Brains Become Who We Are. Date & Time: Thu, Apr 3, 2008, 8:15pm Location: Lexing
