Sen. Thom Tillis puts onus on president to avoid Boasberg picking US attorney | Fox News

Sen. Thom Tillis' office brushed off concern that a left-wing court could select an interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia after the North Carolina Republican bucked President Donald Trump's pick for the role, putting the onus on the Trump administration to select a successor and avoid involvement from federal judges.  Tillis, R-N.C., sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is overseeing the confirmation process of Ed Martin, Trump's pick to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Martin has served as interim U.S. attorney since Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration but is facing a May 20 deadline to be confirmed.  Martin met with Senate lawmakers Monday, and Tillis told reporters Tuesday he wouldn't support the nomination. The committee, composed of 12 Republicans and 10 Democrats, has not yet scheduled a vote on Martin's nomination.  "I’ve indicated to the White House I wouldn’t support his nomination," Tillis told reporters Tuesday.  DEADLINE LOOMS ALLOWING LEFT-WING COURT TO SELECT US ATTORNEY AS STATE AGS URGE CONFIRMATION OF TRUMP PICK If an interim U.S. attorney is not confirmed by the Senate within 120 days, however, judges on the federal district court for that district could name a new interim U.S. attorney until the role is filled. Trump antagonist Judge James Boasberg, an Obama-appointed judge at the center of legal efforts targeting Trump's deportation efforts, is the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.  When asked if Tillis is comfortable with the left-wing court picking an interim U.S. attorney, his office told Fox News Digital it is the office's understanding that Attorney General Pam Bondi can pick an acting replacement, bypassing involvement from federal judges.  TRUMP NOMINATES JAN. 6 DEFENSE ATTORNEY FOR TOP PROSECUTOR ROLE IN DC "Our understanding is that if the Senate does not confirm a U.S. attorney before an acting U.S. attorney’s term expires, the attorney general can still pick the next acting replacement as long as it is done before the original appointment expires under 28 USC 546," a spokesman for Tillis' office told Fox News Digital Tuesday.  Tillis' office referred Fox News Digital to 28 U.S. Code § 546, which says, "If an appointment expires under subsection (c)(2), the district court for such district may appoint a United States attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled. The order of appointment by the court shall be filed with the clerk of the court." Martin previously worked as a defense attorney and represented Americans charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, which Tillis took issue with when speaking with reporters Tuesday.  "Mr. Martin did a good job of explaining the one area that I think he’s probably right, that there were some people that were over-prosecuted, but there were some, 200 or 300 of them that should have never gotten a pardon," Tillis said. "If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where Jan. 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him, but not in this district." TRUMP NOMINATES JUDGE TO SERVE AS NEXT US ATTORNEY FOR SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Tillis previously has railed against the Jan. 6 protests, when Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol after the 2020 election. Tillis criticized Trump in January when the president granted clemency to more than 1,500 Jan. 6 criminal defendants upon taking office. "Anybody who committed violence, like the violence in Kenosha and the violence in Portland before them, should be in prison — period, full stop," Tillis said after the pardons. "That segment of pardons — I’m as disappointed as I am with all the pardons that Biden did." Trump and his administration have rallied support for Martin as his confirmation process comes down to the wire.  "His approval is IMPERATIVE in terms of doing all that has to be done to SAVE LIVES and to, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN," Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. FEDERAL PROSECUTOR VOWS TO PROTECT DOGE STAFFERS FROM ANY 'THREATS, CONFRONTATIONS' TARGETING MUSK TEAM "Ed Martin will be a big player in doing so and, I hope, that the Republican Senators will make a commitment to his approval, which is now before them." Fox News Digital exclusively reported Monday that 23 state attorneys general additionally sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, calling on lawmakers to swiftly confirm Martin as U.S. attorney. "To put it bluntly, the District of Columbia is broken," the letter, sent Monday, states. "And four years of alleged corruption, mismanagement, and derelictions of duty in the U.S. Attorney’s Office under President Biden’s appointees are in many ways to blame. The District should be made safe again. The District should have a U.S. Attorney who replaces the rule of lawfare with the rule of law. Ed Martin is the man to achieve those goals. We strongly encourage the Senate to confirm him at the earliest possible date."  CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "I am proud to lead this effort to support Ed Martin because he’s a proven leader who is already devoting all of his time to restoring the rule of law in our nation’s capital," Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita, who spearheaded the letter, told Fox Digital of his support for Martin.  "His bold actions have had an immediate impact, which sent the disreputable D.C. news media into a full-blown meltdown. The Senate must act swiftly to confirm him and ensure his critical work continues uninterrupted."

Neuroscientists identify a shared brain circuit for creativity
PsyPost - Psychology News
A large neuroimaging study has identified a brain circuit linked to creativity—and found that damage to this network, from injury or disease, can sometimes enhance creative expression. The findings offer new insight into how the brain enables creative thinking.

New research published in JAMA Network Open has identified a common brain circuit linked to creativity across multiple domains, such as music, writing, drawing, and idea generation. The findings indicate that damage to this circuit—caused by brain injuries or neurodegenerative diseases—may sometimes enhance creative abilities. This counterintuitive result adds to growing evidence that creativity is not only supported by specific brain networks but might also be released when certain regions are disrupted.

"We wanted to answer the questions, ‘What brain regions are key for human creativity and how does this relate to the effects of brain injuries?’" said study author Isaiah Kletenik, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, researcher at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics, and associate neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

"As a cognitive neurologist, I take care of patients who have brain injuries or dementia which you would assume should only cause dysfunction but there are these rare situations in which people have a progressive brain disease and have new onset creativity. The first author, Julian Kutsche has a background in both neuroscience and in the study of music so this topic was a perfect combination of his research interests."

To address this question, Kletenik and his colleagues at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital examined data from 857 participants who had taken part in 36 brain imaging studies of creativity. Each of these studies used functional MRI to identify brain regions activated during creative tasks compared to control tasks. The researchers then applied a technique known as coordinate network mapping to analyze the functional connectivity of those brain areas using resting-state data from 1,000 healthy adults.

Although the specific brain regions activated during creativity tasks varied widely across studies, the researchers found that a large majority—86%—shared a connection to a common brain circuit. This circuit was characterized by negative functional connectivity with a particular region in the brain known as the right frontal pole. That is, when creative brain regions were active, the right frontal pole tended to be less active, suggesting a possible suppressive or regulatory role in creative thinking.

This finding was consistent across different types of creative tasks, different statistical thresholds, and different levels of data analysis, making it a robust result. To ensure their findings were not due to random chance or general brain activity, the researchers also compared their data with brain networks involved in unrelated tasks like working memory. The creativity circuit stood out as distinct.

"Many complex human behaviors such as creativity don’t map to a specific brain region but do map to specific brain circuits," Kletenik told PsyPost. "Some people with neurologic diseases experience a new onset of creative behavior and show specific patterns of damage that align with a brain circuit associated with creativity."

"We found that many complex human behaviors such as creativity don’t map to a specific brain region but do map to specific brain circuits," added co-senior author Michael D. Fox, who founded and leads the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics, and helped develop the techniques of coordinate and lesion network mapping employed in this work.

To validate their results, the team looked at three independent lines of evidence: brain activation patterns in an additional 30 fMRI studies, data from patients with focal brain lesions, and data from patients with neurodegenerative diseases. In each case, the results supported the existence of a common creativity circuit.

One of the more intriguing validations came from examining patients with brain lesions in different parts of the frontal lobe. Patients with lesions in areas negatively connected to the right frontal pole—such as the lateral frontal lobe—tended to show reduced creativity. But those with lesions in the right frontal pole itself sometimes showed enhanced creative output, suggesting that damage to this area may reduce self-monitoring or internal censorship, allowing freer expression of creative ideas.

Similarly, the researchers found that certain neurodegenerative diseases—such as semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD)—are associated with increased creativity. The brain atrophy patterns in these diseases aligned strongly with the identified creativity circuit, especially in regions negatively linked to the right frontal pole. In other conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or nonfluent aphasia, where increased creativity is less commonly observed, the alignment was weaker.

The team also analyzed data from patients with frontotemporal dementia who had experienced a surprising boost in artistic abilities. These individuals showed brain atrophy in areas that overlapped with the newly defined creativity circuit, adding further evidence that disruption of this network may allow creativity to emerge in unexpected ways.

Taken together, these results suggest that the right frontal pole may act as a kind of gatekeeper, suppressing spontaneous or unconventional thinking in favor of rule-based decision-making. When that control is reduced—whether by task-induced deactivation, injury, or degeneration—creative behavior may become more prominent. This idea is consistent with previous studies that found lower activity in parts of the frontal cortex during improvisation and other free-form tasks.

"The most surprising finding was that all the different forms of creative tasks shared a specific regional reduced activity on brain imaging," Kletenik explained. "In functional neuroimaging we often focus on areas where there's increased activation, but in this study the key finding was that all the creative tasks seem to share reduced activation in the right frontal pole. This part of your brain is important for monitoring and rule-based behaviors. Creativity may depend on inhibiting self-censoring assessments that could then allow free association and idea generation to flow more freely."

While the findings are compelling, the researchers stress that creativity is complex and likely involves many different brain systems. Their work focused on identifying a shared neural pathway across studies, not on capturing every possible variation. Moreover, the observed relationships are correlational; while lesion data suggest a causal role for the right frontal pole, more direct interventions—such as brain stimulation studies—are needed to confirm this.

"These findings rely on retrospective analyses and do not represent the entire neural circuitry involved in creativity – there are many different parts of the brain necessary for completing different creative tasks," Kletenik noted.

Still, the findings open the door to new ways of thinking about the brain and its relationship to creativity. They may also help explain why some people report an increase in artistic or musical output after brain injuries or during early stages of neurological disease. This phenomenon, known as paradoxical functional facilitation, suggests that impairments in one area of the brain can sometimes lead to gains in another.

“These findings could help explain how some neurodegenerative diseases might lead to paradoxical increase in creativity," Kletenik explained. "We are learning more about neurodiversity and how brain changes that are considered pathological may improve function in some ways

The study, "Mapping Neuroimaging Findings of Creativity and Brain Disease Onto a Common Brain Circuit," was authored by Julian Kutsche, Joseph J. Taylor, Michael G. Erkkinen, Haya Akkad, Sanaz Khosravani, William Drew, Anna Abraham, Derek V. M. Ott, Juliana Wall, Alexander Li Cohen, Andreas Horn, Wolf-Julian Neumann, Isaiah Kletenik, and Michael D. Fox.
