The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
And they observe that across subjects specifically in the nigrostriatal pathway. This pathway associated with divergent thinking.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

the paper suggests is that we can increase dopamine using specific types of meditation induced consciousness. And those increases in dopamine can be used to increase our ability to be more creative.
And perhaps most excitingly, it's associated with this massive increase, 65% increase in dopamine release within the very pathway that underlies divergent thinking.
And they observed an increase in so-called theta activity. Theta activity is a pattern of brain wave activity that's commonly associated with creative states and divergent thinking in particular.
