The Dopamine Code Is Here

What it is, why I wrote it, and how to get it — in paperback, ebook, or the audiobook I narrated myself.

A single human neuron, compact and centered, with copper-lit dendrites extending outward — the refractory window in which the new wiring locks in.

Inside the Window

The refractory period is where the rewiring happens. What you do inside that window becomes your new wiring — whether you chose it or not.

A single neuron firing, with copper light concentrated at the synapse — the moment the brain physically rewires itself.

Neuroplasticity Has a Deadline

The science of why retrospect doesn't reach the rewiring window.
