Journal ArticleDOI
Where do bright ideas occur in our brain? Meta-analytic evidence from neuroimaging studies of domain-specific creativity.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that creativity relies on multi-componential neural networks and that different creativity domains depend on different brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychology of Environmental Navigation in Humans: Review and Meta-Analysis of fMRI Studies in Healthy Participants
TL;DR: The results suggest that different neural correlates are involved in recalling a well-learned or recently acquired environment and that different networks of areas subtend egocentric and allocentric strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Meditative Mind: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis of MRI Studies
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that a biological substrate underlies the positive pervasive effect of meditation practice and suggest that meditation techniques could be adopted in clinical populations and to prevent disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segregation of neural circuits involved in spatial learning in reaching and navigational space.
TL;DR: The results of the fMRI study support the idea of a partial segregation between neural circuits for reaching and navigational space not only in the domain of perception and action planning but also in spatial learning and long-term memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was found that different brain areas were associated with CR proxies in healthy and pathological aging, and a wide network of areas, including medial and lateral frontal areas, that is, anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, was associated with proxies of CR in healthy elderly patients.
