Unlocking creativity: Scientists discover origin of 'eureka' moments in the brain
==========
Researchers from the University of Utah Health and Baylor College of Medicine have discovered the neural roots of creative thinking. Using an advanced brain imaging technique, the team found that the default mode network (DMN) in the brain plays a crucial role in generating creative ideas. The DMN is active when the mind is wandering or daydreaming, and it is responsible for producing novel ideas before they are evaluated by other parts of the brain. The researchers also demonstrated that temporarily dampening activity in specific parts of the DMN led to a decrease in creative ideas. The findings could have implications for developing new treatments for mental health conditions that affect the DMN. The study was published in the journal Brain.
