Document Summary
The structure of creative cognition in the human brain: creativity- the production of something both novel and useful, researchers have attempted to identify the cognitive processes central to creative cognition. Naa/neuronal integrity (spectroscopic studies/h-mrsi: white matter integrity/structural connectivity and composite creativity scores (fractional anisotrophy) Cci , creative achievement (caq), and cortical thickness: increased gray matter thickness in the right posterior cingulate gyrus and the right angular gyrus correlated with higher cci and. Caq: higher scores were also correlated with decreased thickness in the lateral orbitofrontal region, relationship between regional gray matter volume (rgmv) and individual creativity (s-a test- using 3 dt tests to determine total creativity score. +rapm for iq: compared using morphometric data from mri, positive correlation in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral striatum, dorsal midbrain, reticular formation, periaqueductal gray, ventral midbrain and regions in the precuneus (increased dompaminergic, predominantly found in males.
