Although humans have long valued creativity, the generation of such innovation is still incompletely understood. Looking at the healthy brain, researchers have localized certain parts for a basic understanding of these mechanisms. By researching the brain affected by neurological disease, scientists have observed unique manifestations of creativity, such as in frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and parkinsonian spectrum disorders, and stroke, which help clarify these creative underpinnings. Incorporating both healthy and disease models of cerebral functioning, neurological and neuroscientific research from recent years has built on established theories and expanded current knowledge.
尽管人类长期以来一直重视创造力，但对于这种创新的产生仍不完全了解。从健康的大脑入手，研究人员对大脑的特定区域进行了定位，以便对这些机制有一个基本的了解。通过研究受神经疾病影响的大脑，科学家们观察到了创造力的独特表现，如额颞叶变性、阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病和帕金森综合征以及中风等，这有助于阐明这些创造力的基础。近年来，结合大脑功能的健康和疾病模型，神经学和神经科学研究在已有理论的基础上进行了扩展，增加了当前的知识。
