The creative brain

From the neurobiological point of view, the creative processes are generated by an enormous and complex variety of cortical and subcortical activity, concentrated primarily in the ventral striatum (for the emergency of novelty) and then in the prefrontal cortex (for their processing). If the basal ganglia, with their implicit procedures and their memory processes, produce continuous novelty; the prefrontal cortex, with its dorsolateral areas, transforms the latest news in creative behaviors explicit. In this workspace, countless expressions of harmony and disharmony neural accompany the emergence of phenomena of thought and behavior original. A multitude of intra-cognitive process scattered competing for access to a conscious workspace for filtering, communicate and exchange information.
