This study aims to evaluate the critical and creative thinking abilities in the context of mathematics when solving problems related to arithmetic sequences and series among introverted students in the 11th grade at Xaverius 1 High School in Jambi City. This issue arises due to differences in thinking skills and cognitive processes among students based on personality types, where it was found that introverted students tend to have low mathematical critical and creative thinking abilities. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through personality questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Research subjects were selected from introverted students based on personality questionnaire results and answer sheet analysis, with three students representing the various response groups. The results of this study indicate that introverted students demonstrate good mathematical critical thinking skills in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans. However, they tend to overlook rechecking their solutions. The creative mathematical thinking abilities of introverted students mainly involve fluency and flexibility in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans, although they lack in terms of originality and elaboration in problem-solving

The linkage cultivation of creative thinking and innovative thinking in dance choreography

The prefrontal cortex (PFC), a key brain region for cognitive and emotional processes, is highly regulated by dopaminergic inputs. The dopamine D4 receptor, which is enriched in PFC, has been implicated in mental disorders, such as attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia. Recently we have found homeostatic regulation of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in PFC pyramidal neurons by the D4 receptor, providing a potential mechanism for D4 in stabilizing cortical excitability. Because stress is tightly linked to adaptive and maladaptive changes associated with mental health and disorders, we examined the synaptic actions of D4 in stressed rats. We found that neural excitability was elevated by acute stress and dampened by repeated stress. D4 activation produced a potent reduction of excitatory transmission in acutely stressed animals and a marked increase of excitatory transmission in repeatedly stressed animals. These effects of D4 targeted GluA2-lacking AMPA receptors and relied on the bi-directional regulation of calcium/calmodulin kinase II activity. The restoration of PFC glutamatergic transmission in stress conditions may enable D4 receptors to serve as a synaptic stabilizer in normal and pathological conditions.
