Joseph LeDoux (born December 7, 1949) is an American neuroscientist whose research is primarily focused on survival circuits, including their impacts on emotions such as fear and anxiety. Joseph LeDoux is the world’s foremost authority on the neurobiology of anxiety and fear. Writing in New York magazine, neuroscience reporter Casey Schwartz said, “If this is the age of anxiety, LeDoux is our Lewis and our Clark.” He is the author of many book including The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life and The Synaptic Self: How Our Brains Become Who We Are, in addition to numerous scholarly articles. His many honors include the Fyssen International Prize in Cognitive Science, the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award and the William James Award from the Association for Psychological Science. In 2013, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He is also the lead singer and songwriter in the band The Amygdaloids.
Prakhar and Joseph LeDoux discuss the neuroscience of consciousness, the biggest mistake in the research on fear, anxiety, evolution and emotions.
