Coming to Terms with Fear by Joseph LeDoux

This NYC-CBT Lecture was given on Wednesday October 28th, 2015, at the Weill Auditorium of Weill Cornell Medical College.
Joseph LeDoux is one of the foremost neuroscientists in the world today. His research explores the biological underpinnings of emotion and memory, especially brain mechanisms that underlie fear and anxiety.
