From default to creativity: prefrontal and cerebellar contributions of the default mode network to goal-directed remote thinking

2026-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Creativity is a hallmark of human cognition, characterized by the ability to connect seemingly distant concepts or ideas. Existing theories suggest that remote thinking can be achieved either spontaneously (constrained by the structure of semantic memory) or in a goal-directed manner (constrained by a creative goal). The present study investigates the neural correlates of goal-directed remote thinking, defined as...
