Association between resting-state brain network topological organization and creative ability: evidence from a multiple linear regression model.

•Both two groups indicated an optimized network organization and the highly creative individuals showed the better information transformation efficiency.•Found high power of the regional functional integration properties of the brain network in explaining the inter-individual difference of the creativity performance.•Detected regions which effectively predicted original performance were mainly located in default mode network (DMN) and sensorimotor network (SMN).•The associations of the network regional properties and creative performance were creativity-level dependent.
