neurology of writing!

irisbleu pointed me to this book, and i really want it.

Writing, Dr. Flaherty tells us, is the domain of the cerebral cortex, but the desire to write is the domain of the limbic system -- the hypothalamus and the structures of the temporal lobe. It is altered temporal lobe activity that is associated with creativity. On the other hand, frontal lobe processes are involved in writer's block.
