    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Dr. Schacht’s training and research experience encompass both basic and clinical neuroscience, and he has pushed to build a program of research that translates from basic neurobiological processes to behavioral and treatment outcomes. He has previously been funded by individual (F31) and institutional (T32) training fellowships from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). His current work, funded by an NIAAA K99/R00 Pathway to Independence award, focuses on the neurobiological substrates of the transition from heavy drinking to alcohol dependence. He is particularly known for his work in using behavioral genetics and functional neuroimaging to understand alcohol and drug craving and cue reactivity.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
