Abstract
- Very few studies have investigated neuroanatomical correlates of “everyday” creative achievement in cohorts of normal subjects. In previous research, we first showed that scores on the Creative Achievement Questionnaire (CAQ) were associated with lower cortical thickness within the left lateral orbitofrontal gyrus (LOFG), and increased thickness of the right angular gyrus (AG) (Jung et al., 2010). Newer studies found the CAQ to be associated with decreased volume of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) (Chen, et al., 2014), and that artistic and scientific creativity was associated with increased and decreased volumes within the executive control network and salience network (Shi et al., 2017). We desired to replicate and extend our previous study in a larger cohort (N = 248), comprised of subjects studying and working in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Subjects were youn (Range = 16–32; Mean age = 21.8; s.d. = 3.5) all of whom were administered the CAQ from which we derived artistic and scientific creativity factors. All subjects underwent structural MRI on a 3 T scanner from which cortical thickness, area, and volume measures were obtained using FreeSurfer. Our results showed mostly cortical thinning in relation to total, scientific, and artistic creative achievement encompassing many regions involved in the cognitive control network (CCN) and default mode network (DMN).
