New Year, New Habits: How to Actually Make Them Stick (Neuroscience Edition)
Resolutions fail because willpower fights automatic behavior. Here's how to build habits that stick using your basal ganglia, cues, and a 5-8 week protocol.
Explore Dr. Andrew Hill's comprehensive neuroscience insights on basal ganglia. This collection spans articles, podcast conversations, and live neurofeedback sessions, covering the latest research, clinical applications, and practical strategies.
From 25+ years of clinical neuroscience and 25,000+ brain maps, Dr. Hill brings evidence-based approaches to brain optimization, combining rigorous research with accessible explanations designed for intelligent, curious readers seeking to understand and optimize their brains.

Resolutions fail because willpower fights automatic behavior. Here's how to build habits that stick using your basal ganglia, cues, and a 5-8 week protocol.

Why willpower loses to dopamine, and how to rewire bad habits by hacking cues, rewards, and the basal ganglia loops that run on autopilot.

Procrastination is a neural cost-benefit loop, not a character flaw. Learn the circuits behind avoidance and the biohacking strategies that retrain them.
