bull The nondominant inferior parietal lobule is probably a major ldquostore houserdquo of artistic creativity

bull conceptualization is conceived in the VMPFL and the executive part is operated through the DLFPL

bull The conceptualization at VMPFL is influenced by activity from the anterior temporal lobe through the uncinate fasciculus and limbic system pathways

bull The latter transfers the concept to the visual brain through the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) relaying on its path to the parietal cortex
