Brain injury may make people more creative!

    

    Researchers have identified a brain circuit for creativity and suggested that people with brain injuries or neurodegenerative diseases -- in whom the circuit is affected may have increased creativity. 

    "Some people with neurologic diseases experience a new onset of creative behaviour and show specific patterns of damage that align with our creativity circuit," lead author Julian Kutsche, said, "We wanted to answer the questions, 'What brain regions are key for human creativity and how does this relate to the effects of brain injuries?"" 

    The study first looked at brain scans of 857 people to identify regions that help perform creative activities such as drawing, creative writing and making music. To be creative, you may have to turn off your inner critic, the study proposed.
