Cameron Hunterton

Founder and editor of The Neuroscience Review

Cameron Hunterton studies neuroscience at Columbia University, where he works in the Darcy Kelley lab studying how the brain controls vocal communication in frogs. His work also spans psychiatry, including research with Ragy Girgis, MD, a Columbia psychiatrist who studies the causes of mass violence and severe mental illness, and clinical orthopedics at Mount Sinai with Melissa Leber, MD, a sports-medicine physician who directs player medical services at the US Open. The Neuroscience Review is his attempt to write the kind of neuroscience he wished existed when he was first learning the field.

He started the blog as one person explaining real brain research clearly, and he now edits the guest writers who are joining it. If you want to write for the site, the Submissions page is the place to start.
