In the present study, we developed a gambling test for rodents using a radial-arm maze to address the issue of decision-making in patients with drug dependence. Our findings suggest that chronic methamphetamine treatment may lead to alternations of reward-based decision-making. Aberrant activation of the cortico-striatal pathway from insular cortex to striatum may be associated with the impairment of reward-based decision-making in methamphetamine-dependent rats.
