Curiosity and creativity are manifestations of novelty-seeking mechanisms, closely intertwined and interdependent. This principle aligns seamlessly with the foundational tenets of Langerian mindfulness, which places novelty seeking as a cornerstone. Creativity, curiosity, openness, and flexibility all harmoniously converge in this framework. Spanning over four decades, research in the realm of mindfulness has diligently delved into the intricate interplay among these constructs.

Championing fundamental discovery research: quality over quantity.

Rapidly emerging technologies, such as generative AI tools, have already had a reverberating impact on science and society. The notion that such tools could be entrusted with 'mapping' the trajectory of scientific discovery toward immediate measurable applications, however, is problematic. I instead argue that curiosity-driven fundamental research should remain the base upon which to build progress.

Curiosity, an innate and intrinsic motivation to explore, makes vital contributions to learning in individuals of various ages. Epistemic curiosity centers on the drive to close information gaps and can be classified into joyous exploration and interest (I) and deprivation sensitivity (D) types. Each subtype is associated with different academic achievements, personality traits, emotions, and aspects of creativity.

Rapid adaptation to novel environments is crucial for survival, and this ability is impaired in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Understanding neural adaptation to novelty exposure therefore has therapeutic implications. Here, I found that novelty induces time-dependent theta (4-12Hz) oscillatory dynamics in brain circuits including the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), ventral hippocampus (vHPC), and ventral tegmental area (VTA), but not dorsal hippocampus (dHPC), as mice adapt to a novel environment.

Developmental science has a long history of studying skills that children need to thrive. However, there has been a primary focus on academic skills, with little attention to the breadth and diversity of other skills that young children need to thrive. Furthermore, little is known about the extent to which community experts involved in early childhood care and education (ECCE) value different early developmental skills.
