And the key requirement for creativity is this aspect of utility. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that for something to be considered creative it has to be useful in the practical sense, but it does seem that for something to be considered truly creative or especially creative in some cases that it revealed to us something fundamental about the way that we or the world works. We discuss some of the neural circuits that underlie the different aspects of creativity in particular divergent and convergent thinking as well as narrative building and some of the tools and steps that can allow us to better access divergent thinking and convergent thinking. And those tools include behavioral tools as well as pharmacology.
