His neuroanatomical and neuropathological research was conducted while Medical Officer and Director of Pathology at the Rainhill County Mental Hospital near Leeds in England. The results of his intensive studies of the histological structure of the human cerebral cortex were published in his landmark book Histological studies on the localisation of cerebral function (1905). On returning to Australia, Campbell was the first to have a full-time neurological practice in Australia. For some years he was honorary consultant to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children and the Coast (Prince Henry) Hospital, Sydney. He research, some of which was unpublished, included work on poliomyelitis and Australian X-disease (probably Murray Valley Encephalitis). While serving with the Australian Army Medical Corps during WWI and afterwards as a consultant to the Department of Repatriation, Campbell was particularly involved with the treatment of nervous conditions and those caused by mental stress. 1889 1889 Education - MB ChM, University of Edinburgh 1892 1892 Education - MD, University of Edinburgh 1892 1905 Career position - Medical Officer and Director of Pathology, Rainhill County Mental Hospital, near Liverpool, England 1905 Career position - Honorary Captain, Australian Army Medical Corps 1905 1937 Career position - In private practice as specialist in neurology and mental diseases, Sydney 1907 1937 Career position - Member, Royal Society of New South Wales 1914 1915 Career position - 2nd Australian General Hospital, Cairo 1916 1918 Career position - Military Hospital, Randwick, New South Wales 1921 Career position - Foundation Councillor (Pathology), Australian National Research Council 1925 1925 Career position - Chairman, Neurology and Psychiatry Section , New South Wales Branch, British Medical Association 1932 1932 Career position - Chairman, Neurology and Psychiatry Section , New South Wales Branch, British Medical Association Australian National Research Council (ANRC) (1919 - 1955)
