Research Indicates Gambling Behavior Similar To Drug Addiction Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and two other institutions have found that discrete parts of the human brain respond in an ordered fashion to the anticipation and reward of money. The study, published in this week’s Neuron, demonstrates the first linkage of human brain events to ideas from behavioral economics. The research reveals that monetary rewards tap into a generalized system in the human brain that also processes other categories of reward such as drugs and food. “This work argues that we can begin to dissect the systems that process reward and organize behavior in humans,” says lead author Hans Breiter, MD, co-director of the Motivation and Emotion Neuroscience Center in the Department of Radiology at MGH. “This is also the first demonstration that a monetary reward in a gambling-like experiment produces brain activation very similar to that observed in a cocaine addict receiving an infusion of cocaine.” In other words, he says the results may give credence to the theory that gambling behavior may be similar to drug addiction. sciencedaily.com
