Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary of included studies on the neuroimaging of handwriting.

Article Snippet: Shah et al., 2013 [ ] , 28 r-h prtcs (14 ♀, 14 ♂; x ̄ age 24.0 ± 1.9 yrs) in-experienced in creative writing, native German speakers. , fMRI 3T, BOLD, T1-weighted, EPI, images analysed using SPM5 run on MATLAB 7.4 normalized to MNI. , Creative writing and copying shared many brain activations and correlated with creativity indexes; hence, copying is not devoid of creative processes and their related brain activations, mostly the SFG–temporopolar focus. Brainstorming involved novel and original idea generation and composition of the story concept through recruiting fronto-parieto-temporal circuits. Some PreMCx activity may have been involved in preparatory processes for writing activity. Creative writing combines handwriting with cognitive processes associated with writing, such as episodic memory, semantic integration, and text production, linked to activation of a left fronto-temporal network including left IFG (BA45) and left temporopolar Cx (BA38)..
