The Neuroscience of Creativity
The Neuroscience of creativity looks at the operation of the brain during creative behavior. It is theorized that creative innovation might require coactivation and communication between regions of the brain that ordinarily are not strongly connected. Highly creative differ from others in three ways:

The Role of Dopamine
The frontal lobe appears to be the part of the cortex that is most important for creativity. In 2005 Alice Flaherty presented a three-factor model of the creative drive derived from evidence in brain imaging, drug studies and lesion analysis. She described the creative drive as resulting from an interaction of the frontal lobes, the temporal lobes, and dopamine from the limbic system.
It is further described that the brain's frontal lobes and the cognitive functions of the cerebellum collaborate to produce creativity and innovation. The explanation is based on evidence that all processes of working memory (responsible for processing all though) are adaptively modeled for increased efficiency by the cerebellum The cerebellum (consisting of 100 billion neurons) is also widely known to adaptively model all bodily movement for efficiency. The cerebellum's working memory feeds processing back to the frontal lobe where creative and innovative thoughts arise. Creative insight or the "aha" experience is triggered in the temporal lobe.
- they have a high level of specialized knowledge,
- they are capable of divergent thinking mediated by the frontal lobe.
- and they are able to modulate neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine in their frontal lobe.

- The frontal lobes can be seen as responsible for idea generation
- The temporal lobes are responsible for idea editing and evaluation.
- Abnormalities in the frontal lobes (such as depression or anxiety) generally decrease creativity, while abnormalities in the temporal lobes often increase creativity.
- High activity in the temporal lobe typically inhibits activity in the frontal lobe, and vice versa.
- High dopamine levels increase general arousal and goal directed behaviors and reduce latent inhibition, and all three effects increase the drive to generate ideas.
