In this circuit, pain signals are sent from the spinal cord into a different part of the thalamus, which has connections to the amygdala, the brain's emotional processing center.

Although the specific brain regions activated during creativity tasks varied widely across studies, the researchers found that a large majority—86%—shared a connection to a common brain circuit.

Creativity mapped to a specific brain circuit in healthy people, an analysis of neuroimaging studies suggested. In a meta-analysis involving 36 studies and 857 healthy participants, 415 brain ...

The circuit, which connects to multiple layers of the brain, is stimulated by both the "love hormone" oxytocin and ovarian hormones.
