The mind and its mysteries

 
“‘We do know from my own work on depression that there seems to be several different parts of the brain involved [in creativity]. Different parts of the brain are all speaking to each other. We’re trying to figure out how they’re speaking to each other.’

[Dr. Greengard] continued: ‘I’m sure our brains are working unconsciously. When you have a creative thought, it’s parts of the brain talking to each other without your awareness.'”
