The Science Behind the Pattern
How your brain’s reward systems, prefrontal circuits, and stress architecture shape the way you decide, recover, and connect — and what happens when you rewire them. Written by Dr. Sydney Ceruto, founder of MindLAB Neuroscience and author of The Dopamine Code (Simon & Schuster).
