The effect of meditation on brain structure: cortical thickness mapping and diffusion tensor imaging.

Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience May 7, 2012 Do‐hyung Kang, Hang Joon Jo, Wi Hoon Jung et al.

A convergent line of neuroscientific evidence suggests that meditation alters the functional and structural plasticity of distributed neural processes underlying attention and emotion. The purpose of this study was to examine the brain structural differences between a well-matched sample of long-term meditators and controls. We employed whole-brain cortical thickness analysis based on magnetic...
