It's amazing that how brain damage, by removing some inhibitory synapses maybe (my understanding), helps the creativity part to function more freely. <br />Some anti anxiety medications (Benzodiazepines) by blocking some synapses remove the stress and help musicians to perform better and students to think more efficiently in their exams. This might have a similar machanism!<br />Thanks a lot. I really enjoyed reading the article.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080116441325391389noreply@blogger.com
