ABSTRACT

This review investigates the relationship between neuroscience and creative expression, examining how neural processes influence creativity across various art forms. It examiness the brain’s intricate networks and regions involved in creativity, including the prefrontal cortex and default mode network, and their role in divergent thinking. The study also investigates the therapeutic impact of creative activities on brain function and mental health, such as neurogenesis and improved emotional resilience through art therapy. Future research directions highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to further examine the neural correlates of creativity and its broader implications for cognitive and emotional health.

Keywords: Neuroscience, creativity, brain function, art therapy, creative expression, neurogenesis.
