Dr. Claus focuses on addiction research, with an emphasis on the cognitive neuroscience and genetics of alcohol and nicotine dependence. His research aims to understand the cognitive and motivational mechanisms by which addictive disorders emerge and how the brain changes over time with increased exposure to drugs of abuse. In addition, his research uses intravenous alcohol administration to better understand how cognitive functioning is impaired when individuals are intoxicated and how these impairments may lead to increased risk for developing alcohol dependence.
