TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between intelligence and different indicators of creative potential and of creative achievement by means of segmented regression analysis in a sample of 297 participants and found thresholds only for measures of creativity potential but not for creative achievement.

TL;DR: This article found that metaphor production was associated with focal activity in predominantly left-hemispheric brain regions, specifically the left angular gyrus, the left middle and superior frontal gyri, corresponding to the left dorsomedial prefrontal (DMPFC) cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex.

TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between intelligence and different indicators of creative potential and of creative achievement by means of segmented regression analysis confirmed the threshold hypothesis for qualitative indicators of Creative potential and obtained evidence that once the intelligence threshold is met, personality factors become more predictive for creativity.

TL;DR: Results suggest that neural efficiency reflects an (ability-dependent) adaption of brain activation to the respective task demands, and not when comparing tasks with the same person-specific task difficulty.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ability to produce original ideas is tied to default-mode as well as dopaminergic structures, which was apparent throughout the whole range of intellectual ability and thus not moderated by intelligence.
