Eric Kandel Quotes

You learn emotional experiences as much as you learn cognitive experiences, except that they are more unconscious. Sometimes one represses the cognitive component of it, but it’s often more difficult to repress the emotional component Picture Quote #1

I don’t think biology is replacing the feeling experienced through art. Biology is capable of giving additional insights. It’s a parallel, not a substitutive process Picture Quote #1

In order to produce learned fear, you take a neutral stimulus like a tone, and you pair it with an electrical shock. Tone, shock. Tone, shock. So the animal learns that the tone is bad news. But you can also do the opposite - shock it at other times, but never when the tone comes on Picture Quote #1

My parents were not born in Vienna, but they had spent much of their lives there, having each come to the city at the beginning of World War I when they were still very young Picture Quote #1

Long-term memory involves enduring changes that result from the growth of new synaptic connections Picture Quote #1

I see psychoanalysis, art and biology ultimately coming together, just like cognitive psychology and neuroscience have merged Picture Quote #1

One of the ultimate challenges for biology is to understand the brain’s processing of unconscious and conscious perception, emotion, and empathy Picture Quote #1

The brain is a complex biological organ possessing immense computational capability: it constructs our sensory experience, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and controls our actions Picture Quote #1

I was reluctant to be critical of the United States because I thought the United States could do no wrong; that the government could not lie to its people Picture Quote #1

One of the ultimate challenges of biology is to understand how the brain becomes consciously aware of perception, experience and emotion. But it is equally conceivable that the exchange would be useful for the beholders of art, for people who enjoy art, for historians, and for the artists themselves Picture Quote #1

There was little in my early life to indicate that an interest in biology would become the passion of my academic career. In fact, there was little to suggest I would have an academic career Picture Quote #1

You could double the number of synaptic connections in a very simple neurocircuit as a result of experience and learning. The reason for that was that long-term memory alters the expression of genes in nerve cells, which is the cause of the growth of new synaptic connections Picture Quote #1

There are cells in the brain that respond to faces. This is one of the reasons that I deal with portraiture. We can learn a lot about our perception of facial expression from the behavior of these cells Picture Quote #1

Not only Freud but artists and writers were also interested in the unconscious. It was medicine that made the first steps toward modernity Picture Quote #1

The problem of psychoanalysis is not the body of theory that Freud left behind, but the fact that it never became a medical science. It never tried to test its ideas Picture Quote #1

Ever since the Enlightenment, people thought that we were living in a rational universe. They thought that God was a mathematician and that the function of the scientist was to figure out the mathematical rules whereby the universe was created Picture Quote #1

If you read any of my books, they tend to have a strong historical perspective Picture Quote #1

I’ve been collecting art for much of my adult life. I started around 1960. And my wife and I really enjoy art a great deal. We don’t have a lot of money, so we have works on paper, but we enjoy them a great deal Picture Quote #1

I was born in Vienna on November 7, 1929, eleven years after the multiethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart following its defeat in World War I Picture Quote #1

Memory has always fascinated me. Think of it. You can recall at will your first day in high school, your first date, your first love Picture Quote #1

Modernism in Vienna brought together science and culture in a new way to create an Age of Insight that emphasized a more complex view of the human mind than had ever existed before Picture Quote #1

Psychoanalysis has a degree of unreliability about it. You will never know whether you’ve found the truth. You may find a subjective truth, but you don’t know Picture Quote #1

A brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but a Kokoschka painting, or a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like. Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together Picture Quote #1

One of the wonderful things about Internet is its like a salon. It brings people together from different intellectual walks of life Picture Quote #1

I went to medical school after having decided to do so somewhere between my junior and senior year at Harvard - very late. I initially wanted to be an intellectual historian Picture Quote #1

One can, in principle, outline sort of a set of neural circuits that are critically involved and even identify disorders that affect different components of that neural circuit and see what happens if you knock out, for example, inability to recognize faces, how it affects your response to portraiture Picture Quote #1

When I was a medical student in the 1950s, we practically never spoke about Alzheimer’s disease. And why is that so? And that is because people didn’t live long enough to have Alzheimer’s disease Picture Quote #1

The brain is a complex biological organ of great computational capability that constructs our sensory experiences, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and control our actions Picture Quote #1

As you know, in most areas of science, there are long periods of beginning before we really make progress Picture Quote #1
