Jeffrey Blaustein is a retired professor and the former head of the Behavioral Neuroscience Division at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), known for his research in behavioral neuroendocrinology.[1][2] Before the Behavioral Neuroscience Division, he had served at UMass Amherst as the founding director of the Center for Neuroendocrine Studies[3] and as the head of the Biopsychology department.[4] He was named a National Institute of Mental Health Senior Scientist in 1997[5] and an American Association for the Advancement of Science fellow in 2014.[6][7] He has served as the president of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology[8] and as the editor-in-chief of the journal Endocrinology.[9]

Blaustein has published several highly cited papers in journals such as Endocrinology, Science, Brain Research, Physiology & Behavior, and the American Journal of Physiology.[10] 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,[11][12] the effects of hormones on rodent brains and behavior,[13][14][15][16][17] and the effects of steroid hormones on social behavior.[18]

Blaustein lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he has served as an elected Town Meeting representative.[19]
