Huberman Lab · Behaviors That Alter Your Genes to Improve Your Health & Performance | Dr. Melissa Ilardo · 26 May 2025 podcast
And so in that way, it's, you know, it's a huge advantage because it's allowing you to succeed in that field, you know, depending obviously where you are on that spectrum and how that affects you in other ways.
And so if that in some way is giving you an advantage, you know, why wouldn't it be selected for?
And so if that in some way is giving you an advantage, you know, why wouldn't it be selected for? Of course, there are other ways that it could be a disadvantage. Oliver Sacks, I think, wrote about how people with Tourette's may have faster processing speeds.

Oliver Sacks, I think, wrote about how people with Tourette's may have faster processing speeds.
And so, again, maybe this is a place where, you know, that is advantageous, despite the other disadvantages that might come along with having that syndrome.
Oh, did he?
Oh, did he? I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
The disorder. Yeah.
The disorder.
Yeah.
It's interesting because it becomes a really difficult thing to test because how do you measure creativity in a way that you could then link to genetic information?
So a lot of these kinds of understandings of genes come from things called genome-wide association studies, where essentially they perform a correlation at every site in the genome to see which of these sites correlate statistically with whatever phenotype it is. So whether that's, you know, kidney disease or, you know, creativity. But you have to have a really good way of quantifying that trait.

So, you know, creativity is nearly impossible to quantify.
So, you know, creativity is nearly impossible to quantify. Something like mathematical ability, there's so many potential environmental nurture factors that could contribute to how that manifests in an individual that it also becomes quite difficult to quantify and therefore difficult to find any genetic factor that's contributing.
