Jeffrey Blaustein is a professor and the head of the Behavioral Neuroscience Division at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), known for his research in behavioral neuroendocrinology.[1] Previously at UMass Amherst, he has served as the founding director of the Center for Neuroendocrine Studies[2] and as the head of the Biopsychology department.[3] He was named as a National Institute of Mental Health Senior Scientist in 1997[4] and an American Association for the Advancement of Science fellow in 2014.[5][6] He has served as the president of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology[7] and as the editor-in-chief of the journal Endocrinology.[8]

Blaustein has published several highly cited papers in journals such as Endocrinology, Science, Brain Research, Physiology & Behavior, and the American Journal of Physiology.[9] His research has focused on the cellular processes behind how brain function and behavior are modified by steroid hormones,[1] and his papers have covered topics such sex differences in the brain,[10][11] the effects of hormones on rodent brains and behavior,[12][13][14][15][16] and the effects of steroid hormones on social behavior.[17]

Blaustein lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he has served as an elected Town Meeting representative.[18]
