Life
Cameron received a B.S. in biology from Yale College.[1] She earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the Rockefeller University, where she worked with Bruce McEwen and Elizabeth Gould examining neurogenesis in the adult rat dentate gyrus.[2][1] Her 1995 dissertation was titled, Regulation of adult neurogenesis in the rat dentate gyrus by adrenal steroids and excitatory input.[3] Bruce McEwen was her doctoral advisor.[3] In 1995, she came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) during a postdoctoral fellowship with Ronald D.G. McKay at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).[2][1] Her postdoctoral research determined the magnitude of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus and investigated the effects of stress hormones on neurogenesis in the aging rat hippocampus.[2]
Cameron joined the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) as an investigator in 2001.[2] By 2014, she was the chief of the section on neuroplasticity.[2] Her laboratory studies the regulation of adult neurogenesis and the role of the newly born neurons in normal hippocampal function as well as in diseases involving the hippocampus.[4] In 2014, Cameron was an associate editor of The Journal of Neuroscience.[1]
Cameron has three children.[1]
