Joseph E. LeDoux
scientist · 4 mentions across 2 readings
In this course
LeDoux is a neuroscientist known for work on memory, emotion, and the neural basis of selfhood, particularly through his concept of the "synaptic self"—the idea that our brains literally constitute our identities through neural connections and plasticity. In these readings, his *Synaptic Self* appears alongside Malabou and Bates to ground discussions of how brain plasticity and neurobiological mechanisms shape consciousness and personhood, positioning neuroscience as central to understanding the self in an age of computational and cybernetic thinking.
