N2 - In this chapter, behavioral gambling processes will be discussed in relation to the neurobiological processes underlying these behaviors, and their role in disordered gambling (DG) will be discussed. In discussing the neuroscience of disordered gambling, the question arises whether similar processes take place in the brain in gambling disorder as in substance use disorders (SUDs) or impulse control disorders. Therefore, in this chapter, results of SUDs studies will be compared to results of studies using disordered gamblers, to discuss similarities and differences. This chapter gives an overview of neurobehavioral research into motivational and cognitive brain-behavior processes in DG, and the overlap and differences between DG and SUDs. The neurocognitive studies on reward sensitivity, punishment sensitivity, and decision-making in DG show a consistent picture of preference for immediate rewards over delayed rewards in DG, disadvantageous decision-making associated with short-term rewards but long-term losses, and risky decision-making.
