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]
