TLDR
Brain activation of "Aha" effects with event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during solving Chinese logogriphs indicates that the precuneus might be involved in successful prototype events retrieval, and the left inferior frontal/middle frontal gyrus and the cerebellum might be involvement in re-arrangement of visual stimulus and deployment of attentional resources.About:

TL;DR: Functional imaging data is reviewed to suggest that several frontal and parieto-temporal regions may support cognitive processes shared by diverse creativity tasks, and that some regions may be specialized for distinct types of processes.

Neuroimaging creativity: A psychometric view
TL;DR: It is found that creativity research would benefit from psychometrically informed revision, and the addition of neuroimaging methods designed to provide greater spatial localization of function, in order to see the benefit of imaging.

Increased resting functional connectivity of the medial prefrontal cortex in creativity by means of cognitive stimulation
TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship between RSFC and creativity (divergent thinking, measured by the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging suggests increased RSFC between mPFC and mTG, which belong to the default mode network might be crucial to creativity, can be improved by means of cognitive stimulation.

TL;DR: It is found that creative individuals had higher gray matter volume in the right posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG), which might be related to semantic processing during novelty seeking and suggest that the basic personality trait of openness might play an important role in shaping an individual's trait creativity.

Enhancing verbal creativity: modulating creativity by altering the balance between right and left inferior frontal gyrus with tDCS.
TL;DR: These findings support the balance hypothesis, according to which verbal creativity requires a balance of activation between the right and the left frontal lobes, and more specifically, between the left and the right IFG.

Episodic Memory: From Mind to Brain
TL;DR: Episodic memory is a neurocognitive (brain/mind) system, uniquely different from other memory systems, that enables human beings to remember past experiences as discussed by the authors, which is a true, even if as yet generally unappreciated, marvel of nature.

The Mentality of Apes
TL;DR: Koehler's analysis of the intelligence of higher primates marked a turning point in the psychology of thinking and the continuing struggle between behaviorism and cognitive psychology as discussed by the authors, but it was largely ignored for decades because it violated the conventional wisdom that animal behavior is simply the result of instinct or conditioning.

TL;DR: This work observed two objective neural correlates of insight: increased activity in the right hemisphere anterior superior temporal gyrus for insight relative to noninsight solutions and a sudden burst of high-frequency neural activity prior to insight solutions.

New approaches to demystifying insight.
TL;DR: It is argued that research on insight could be greatly advanced by supplementing traditional insight research, which depends on a few complex problems, with paradigms common in other domains of cognitive science.

In Search of Insight.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the process of attaining the insight required to solve a particular problem, the Mutilated Checkerboard (MC) problem, and show that attaining insight requires discovering an effective problem representation, and that performance on insight problems can be predicted from the availability of generators and constraints in the search for a representation.
