Eric Kandel, push that Nobel Prize to the back of the cabinet. Your work has inspired a song by Canadian death metal band Neuraxis.

The track is called Imagery from the 2002 album 'Truth Beyond…' Sadly, I can't find any audio of the piece online, but if you want a taster of what the band sound like, get someone to repeatedly drive a tank into a guitar shop, or click here.

Presumably the band have a long-standing interest in neuroscience as they are named after the layout of the central nervous system.

Anyway, here are the lyrics to Imagery, which reference Kandel's work on the neurobiology of memory:

Imagery by Neuraxis

Striving… Memories. Striving… Memories.

Aplysia's sensory neurons, alter response level to a given stimulus based on action transpired.

Protein synthesis; Involved in learning.

The strengthening, weakening of synaptic connection; The cellular basis of memory.

All thoughts and feeling; Euphoric or bizarre.

Results of endless interactions of neurochemicals.

Altered perception, re-altered beliefs, affects the mind, the thought process.

Endless emotions, infinite dreams.

Endless emotions, infinite dreams.

Affects the mind, the thoughts patterns.

This machinery called imagination.

Weaves an intricate.

Web of imagery… Imagery.

This machinery called imagination.

Weaves an intricate.

Web of imagery…

Imagery.
