      abstract     = {An increasing number of studies have found that a few,
                      specific subcortical regions are involved in creative visual
                      divergent thinking. In addition, creative thinking is
                      heavily reliant on the fronto-striatal dopaminergic
                      pathways. This study aimed to explore whether spontaneous
                      fluctuations in the subcortex, which contribute to our
                      creative abilities, showed significant differences between
                      individuals with different levels of creativity based on
                      resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data. We
                      calculated subcortical regions’ seed-wise and dynamic
                      functional connectivity (dFC), and then examined the
                      differences between the high and low visual creativity
                      groups. Furthermore, the topological properties of the
                      subcortical network were measured, and their relationship
                      with creative visual divergent thinking was calculated using
                      brain–behavior correlation analyses. The results showed
                      that functional connectivity (FC) between the putamen,
                      pallidum, and thalamus indicated group differences within
                      the subcortex. Whole-brain FC results showed group
                      differences across subcortical (i.e., the thalamus and
                      pallidum) and cerebral regions (i.e., the insula, middle
                      frontal gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus). In addition,
                      subcortical FC demonstrated a positive correlation with
                      visual divergent thinking scores across the pallidum,
                      putamen, and thalamus. Our findings provide novel insights
                      into the relationship between visual divergent thinking and
                      the activities of the subcortex. It is likely that not only
                      fronto-striatal dopaminergic pathways, but also “motor”
                      pathways, are involved in creative visual divergent thinking
