Eric Kandel
An hour with Nobel Laureate and neurobiologist Dr. Eric Kandel
Keywords:
An hour conversation with Nobel Laureate and leading neurobiologist Dr. Eric Kandel about his Nobel-prize winning work with the brain, which has helped us better understand memory and the relationship between biology, psychology and psychiatry. He discusses his childhood in Vienna, his escape from the Nazis, his post at Columbia University and the biological basis of memory.

























A friend told me to watch this 200l video because my PTSD symptoms (Post Traumatic Stress) when visiting dentist intrigued me about my long-term memory fear of childhood dental event. Thank you for this interview and the biology of mental processes and why science and psychology need to merge. I am enlightened with this frontier work from marine snails no less.
Eric Kandel is one of the most interesting and innovative scientists of our time. His multiple interviews on your program are some of the best in it's history. These segments, along with your other science programs, are so amazing, that you have given someone who had little interest a ravenous appetite for this field. Thank you for your great gift to culture, Charlie... and Dr. Kandel.
