Yet that may be the case when it comes to – of all things! – creativity. Image Research news | May 28 2015 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Researchers tie unexpected brain structures to creativity — and to stifling it A new study is the first to directly implicate the cerebellum in the creative process. As for the brain’s higher-level executive-control centers? Not so much.

There is a brief flash of light and a robotic arm darts downward, precisely targeting a fly’s thorax, a moving target roughly the size of a pinhead.
