Slow Mind More Creative
Creativity is associated with the low levels of the chemical N-Acetylasparate, found in neurons. Creativity promotes neural health and metabolism. But the neurons constitute brain's grey matter, the tissue long thought to be linked with thinking power, rather than creativity. The white matter in the brain largely comprises the fatty myelin sheaths that wrap around neurons. Less myelin signifies the white matter has a lower 'integrity' and transmits information more slowly. The white matter of high integrity in the cortex is linked to higher mental function which means increased intelligence.
The
scientists
analyzed
the
connection
between
the
white
matter
and
creativity
and
came
across
something
very
different.
They
used
the
diffusion
tensor
imaging,
which
measures
the
direction
in
which
water
diffuses
through
white
matter
as
it
can
indicate
the
integrity.
They
involved
72
volunteers
in
this
study.
Divergent thinking is a factor in creativity that includes coming up with the new ideas. The people who participated had been tested, with their capacity for divergent thinking.
The
scientists
could
find
that
most
creative
people
had
lower
white-matter
integrity,
in
a
region
connecting
the
per-frontal
cortex
to
a
deeper
structure
called
the
thalamus,
compared
with
their
less
creative
peers.
The
slower
communication
between
some
areas
will
make
people
more
creative
as
it
allow
the
linkage
of
more
disparate
ideas,
more
novelty
and
more
creativity.
Creativity and intelligence goes hand in hand as both of them are controlled with in a different region. But there is no relation between these two as they function relatively independently.
The study has appeared in the open access journal, Plus One.
