Peter Sterling

I am a "hard core" neuroscientist, having studied neural microcircuits in many brain regions, but especially the retina. My theoretical interest led me to write, with Simon Laughlin, Principles of Neural Design (2017). I am also a life-long social activist (Freedom Rider, 1961). Neuroscience and activism meet in my new book What is Health? Allostasis and the Evolution of Human Design (2020).
