Why the Basal Ganglia Are Important in Neurofeedback Practice
The basal ganglia do not work as a switch that is either on or off, so treatment does not flip a broken circuit back into place; it shifts the balance of a system in which both pathways stay active. That is also a fair description of what neurofeedback does across 20 or 40 sessions. Set client expectations accordingly, and describe gains as graded and dose-dependent rather than as a repair.
