We still do not know how the artistic or creative lifestyle and\/or brain differs from a less creative lifestyle and\/or brain. Another open question is why some people live out their creative capabilities and others might not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Parkinson&#8217;s disease<\/mark><\/strong> is the fastest growing neurodegenerative disease worldwide, in which a specific neuro-chemical messenger, dopamine, is no longer produced in the brain. Researchers suspect that dopamine is an essential factor in developing the ability to think creatively and create impressive artwork. Over the last 20 years, case studies have reported that people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease may change their way of making art or their artistic interests. Especially, once diagnosed and on medication, some people may show a renewed interest in producing art, their art may improve or change in style, or some may even begin to be creative and create art for the first time in their life. On the other hand, some people may show opposite or no effects. Why the creative behavior changes so much or not at all in these people is not yet clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We study healthy people and Parkinson&#8217;s patients to understand how Parkinson&#8217;s disease, art, and drugs might be <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">neurobiologically interrelated<\/mark><\/strong>. <\/li><li>We try to <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">stimulate the creative network<\/mark><\/strong> in the healthy brain with ultrasound and drugs. <\/li><li>We also investigate why Parkinson&#8217;s patients show <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">creative-artistic changes<\/mark><\/strong>, how their brains differ and how this knowledge can be translated into <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">clinical application and therapy<\/mark><\/strong>. <\/li><li>We will start creativity-based art therapy with patients to help them regain or find for the first time their individual creativity.
