The Road Less Taken
š§ Psych - 176/200
Reader,
No pre context to anything this time. Just starting it off already!
This is about a new study of unique pattern of connectivity found which lets highly creative peopleās brains take road less traveled to their destination.
What is it?
A new study led by UCLA Health scientists shows highly creative peopleās brains appear to work differently from others', with an atypical approach that makes distant connections more quickly by bypassing the āhubsā seen in non-creative brains.
Exceptionally creative visual artists and scientists ā called āBig Cā creative types ā volunteered to undergo functional MRI brain imaging, giving researchers in psychiatry, behavioral sciences and psychology a look at how regions of the brain connected and interacted when called upon to perform tasks that put creative thinking to the test.

What do I need to know?
Although the concept of creativity has been studied for decades, little is known about its biological bases, and even less is understood about the brain mechanisms of exceptionally creative people, said senior author Robert Bilder, director of the Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity at the Semel Institute. This uniquely designed study included highly creative people representing two different domains of creativity ā visual arts and the sciences ā and used an IQ-matched comparison group to identify markers of creativity, not just intelligence.
The researchers analyzed how connections were made between brain regions globally and locally. [1]
