Chris Retzler's research focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying decision-making, addiction, and individual differences in behavior. His work integrates EEG and fMRI to study reward processing, learning, and inhibition, particularly in the context of smoking and substance use. He also investigates neurocognitive traits associated with autism, anxiety, and antisocial behavior in both clinical and non-clinical populations. His recent publications explore topics such as local-global processing, win-stay/lose-shift behavior, brand perception, and early intervention for substance use in youth.
His recent research outputs (2023–2025) reveal a strong focus on neurocognitive and behavioral aspects of addiction, developmental psychopathology, and decision-making. Articles span neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, employing advanced methodologies like fMRI, EEG, and latent class analysis. Themes include antisocial behavior in adolescence, brand influence on choices, and neuroanatomical correlates of learning strategies. These works demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to addressing public health challenges through cognitive science.
Dr. Retzler has not been explicitly mentioned as receiving scientific awards or fellowships in the provided text.
He actively supervises PhD students and is engaged in research projects involving co-produced interventions for reducing illicit substance use in young people. His work includes securing collaborative grants and leading public engagement efforts, as evidenced by media coverage of his research on preference-based decisions. He regularly presents at conferences and contributes to interdisciplinary teams, including those focused on gender-based violence prevention and youth mental health.
Chris Retzler is associated with the Centre for Cognition and Neuroscience and the 'None in Three' Centre for the Global Prevention of Gender-based Violence. He collaborates on the RISUP (Reducing Illicit Substance Use Project) and contributes to the ABCD Study on neurocognitive correlates of psychopathology. His research group integrates cognitive neuroscience methods with public health applications, emphasizing co-production and early intervention strategies.
