Most work on creativity’s neural substrates measures general creativity, and that is done with
laboratory tasks, whereas specific creativity in art is gleaned from acquired brain damage, largely
in observing established visual artists

The turning to communication through art in lieu of language deficits reflects a biological
survival strategy.

It is adversely affected when these systems are dysfunctional, for congenital reasons (savant
autism) or because of acquired brain damage (stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s), whereas inherent
artistic talent and skill appear less affected.
