But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they're there to stay.

But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.

但大脑研究人员发现，当我们有意识地培养新习惯时，就会在大脑中形成相应的（神经）通路，甚至创造出全新的脑细胞，这可以使我们的思维跳跃到新的创新轨道。

所以，将习惯同创造力和创新在同一语境下进行讨论似乎是自相矛盾的。
