The origins of originality: the neural bases of creative thinking and originality.
TLDR
A neural and cognitive model according to which a balance between the two hemispheres affects a major aspect of creative cognition, namely, originality is proposed, which concludes that the right mPFC is part of a right fronto-parietal network which is responsible for producing original ideas.About:

The structure of creative cognition in the human brain
TL;DR: A perspective, involving aspects of the default mode network (DMN), is provided, which might provide a “first approximation” regarding how creative cognition might map on to the human brain.

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.

Alpha power increases in right parietal cortex reflects focused internal attention
TL;DR: Looking at evidence from fMRI studies, right-parietal alpha power increases may correspond to a deactivation of the right temporoparietal junction, reflecting an inhibition of the ventral attention network, which may serve the executive function of task shielding during demanding cognitive tasks such as idea generation and mental imagery.

Slowly progressive aphasia without generalized dementia
TL;DR: Six right‐handed patients experienced a slowly progressing aphasic disorder without the additional intellectual and behavioral disturbances of dementia, and this condition may constitute a syndrome of relatively focal cerebral degeneration with a predilection for the left perisylvian region.
