Neural markers for Musical Creativity in Jazz Improvisation and Classical Interpretation

The paper examines neural activity during musical improvisation and interpretation in professional pianists, identifying brain regions associated with different types of musical creativity.

Structural Brain Correlates of Creative Personality

This study identifies structural brain correlates of creative personality by comparing grey matter volume and openness to new experiences between creative individuals and controls.

The neural basis of creative production: A cross-modal ALE meta-analysis

This paper uses ALE meta-analysis to compare domain-specific and domain-general mechanisms in creativity by analyzing motoric and divergent thinking tasks.

Paternal Indifference and neglect in early life and Creativity: Exploring the Moderating Role of TPH1 genotype and Offspring’s Gender

The paper examines how paternal neglect, TPH1 genotype, and offspring gender interact to influence creativity in Chinese undergraduates.

The Dynamics of Resting-State Alpha Oscillations Predict Individual Differences in Creativity

This study shows that lower temporal correlations in resting-state alpha oscillations correlate with higher creativity scores in healthy adults.

The dynamics of the improvising brain: a study of musical creativity using jazz improvisation

This study uses fMRI to examine neural dynamics during jazz improvisation, finding distinct brain network patterns for different improvisation modes and their cognitive mechanisms.

The Creative Mind: Blending Oxytocinergic, Dopaminergic and Personality

This study examines the relationship between oxytocinergic and dopaminergic gene expression and creative thinking, finding significant associations in both men and women.

A Neuroeconomic Framework for Creative Cognition

This paper introduces a neuroeconomic framework that links value-based decision-making and LC-NE system activity to creative cognition, offering falsifiable hypotheses about brain network dynamics.

White Matter Connectivity Reflects Success in Musical Improvisation

The paper examines how white matter connectivity relates to musical improvisation success, finding higher FA in specific brain regions and correlations with creativity metrics.
