Mapping Neuroimaging Findings of Creativity and Brain Disease Onto a Common Brain Circuit
Findings from this study suggest that brain regions activated by creativity tasks map to a brain circuit defined by negative functional connectivity to the right frontal pole. Damage to this circuit aligned with changes in creativity observed in individuals with certain brain diseases, including paradoxical creativity increases.
