James Cherry is a Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University. His research primarily focuses on the biological underpinnings of sex dimorphism in the nervous system. Specifically, he aims to understand the extent to which behavioral sex differences are anatomically 'hard-wired' due to the influence of specific gonadal hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. Currently, he utilizes mouse models, particularly the olfactory system, to investigate the pathways and mechanisms by which odors are involved in reproduction. His work also examines how pheromones are processed differently in males and females, considering the role of gonadal hormones in this processing. Additionally, he has begun extending the analysis of sexually dimorphic behaviors observed in rodents to findings relevant to humans, thereby bridging the gap between animal models and human behavioral studies.
