116:β) to show that mice with different sex chromosomes (XX vs. XY) have large sex differences caused by sex chromosomes, not by gonadal hormones; the sex chromosomes affect models of diverse diseases (autoimmune, metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer, neural and behavioral). Arnoldβs research shifted the concepts for understanding the biological differences between the sexes, and contributed to the rationale for the US National Institutes of Health to increase focus on sex differences in preclinical research. It also led to the discovery of specific X and Y genes that cause sex differences in mouse models of disease, therefore increasing understanding of sex-biasing functions of genes on the mammalian X and Y chromosome.

of the brain, including in humans. The report inspired the discovery of numerous other structural sex differences in the brains of other vertebrate species such as humans and other mammals. The identification of groups of cells that differed, in specific brain regions of males and females, moved the study of sexual differentiation to the cellular and molecular level, ultimately enabling the discovery of the molecular mechanisms of sexual differentiation in the brain. Arnold and co-workers uncovered hormonal control of cellular mechanisms (cell death, dendritic growth, cell growth, synapse elimination) that cause differential nervous system development in males and females.

His research has included the discovery of large structural sex differences in the central nervous system, and he studies of how gonadal hormones and sex chromosome genes cause sex differences in numerous tissues. His research program has suggested revisions to concepts of mammalian sexual differentiation and forms a foundation for understanding sex difference in disease. Arnold was born in

The report triggered a reevaluation of the magnitude and significance of biological sex differences in the structure and function

Arnold's study of a gynandromorphic (half genetic male, half genetic female) zebra finch suggested that not all sex differences in brain and behavior are caused by gonadal hormones, as had been believed. The two sides of the

brain differed in the degree of masculinity of the neural song circuit, implying that sex chromosomes operated within brain cells to contribute to sex differences. Arnold and collaborators used several mouse models (e.g,
