Deficits in cost/benefit decision making are a critical risk factor for substance use disorder and behavioural addictions such as gambling disorder. Reward-concurrent cues may mediate this relationship, as such stimuli enhance risk preference and can potentiate cocaine intake in rats. To investigate the influence of cues on brain functioning and cost/benefit decision making, we utilize the rat Gambling Task. This task was designed such that maximal reward is attained by avoiding the high-risk, high-reward options and instead favouring the options associated with lower per-trial gains, as they feature less frequent and shorter time-out penalties. Adding reward-paired audiovisual cues to the task leads to greater risky choice on average. As i...
