Robert Kohler is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. His research focuses on understanding the neurobiological and behavioral underpinnings of substance use disorders, impulsivity, and developmental neuroscience. He collaborates extensively with colleagues such as Sarah Yip, Marc Potenza, and Godfrey Pearlson, contributing to studies like the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) initiative. His work spans neuroimaging, longitudinal analysis, and translational studies, with a particular emphasis on cocaine addiction, reward systems, and mental health disparities. Key projects include investigating brain morphometry correlates of self-administration behavior and identifying latent dimensions of reward and impulsivity in youth populations.
Dr. Kohler’s research integrates clinical, behavioral, and neurobiological data to address complex psychiatric phenotypes. He has published on topics such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on marginalized communities, sex differences in internalizing symptoms, and the effects of psychostimulants on animal models. His findings contribute to advancing treatment strategies for addiction and improving health equity.
