Heavy mental. Joseph LeDoux is a neuroscientist at NYU (subscribers can read his Prospect article on the self and the brain here). He's also chief singer-songwriter of rock band The Amygdaloids—sample song title: "Mind Body Problem." Salon asks him how he started singing about synapses.

Now you see it. Natalie Portman's neuropsychology research.
