His latest (2019) book is called The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains.While he notes that brain injury is not his area of expertise, Joseph LeDoux has done extensive research on the brain, notably how emotions effect the brain and what emotions may be.
