Whole brain analysis (T maps) of brain activation during divergent thinking relative to implicit baseline (OLD & NEW > 0; p < .05, FWE corrected, k ≥ 100). Axial planes are depicted at z = − 20 to 50. Divergent thinking is associated with significant activation in the left inferior gyrus (IFG), left superior frontal gyrus (SFG), left pre- and postcentral gyri, and right hippocampus (yellow colors), and with significant relative deactivations (blue colors) in the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ), right precuneus, and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC).
