| Abstract: | This work was aimed at studying the brain organization of creative thinking (creativity). By means of positron-emission tomography (PET) the localization of the activated brain areas was studied in 16 healthy subjects during psychological performance to a variable degree involving creative thinking. Brain correlates of creativity were obtained. They were represented by the regions of activity changes localized in the prefrontal cortical areas of both hemispheres (Brodmann’s fields 8–11 and 45–47). A correlation between activation of the brain structures and the index of subjective task difficulty was revealed. |
