Short-term meditation increases network efficiency of the anterior cingulate cortex.

Neuroreport August 24, 2011 Shaowei Xue, Yi-Yuan Tang, Michael I Posner

Previous studies have found that short-term integrative body-mind training (IBMT) has positive effects on the brain structure and function in the anterior cingulate cortex. Here, we determined whether 11 h of IBMT alters topological properties of the anterior cingulate cortex in brain functional networks. We applied network analysis to resting-state functional connectivity between 90 cortical...

Impact of mindfulness on the neural responses to emotional pictures in experienced and beginner meditators.

Neuroimage August 15, 2011 Véronique A. Taylor, Joshua A Grant, Véronique Daneault et al.

There is mounting evidence that mindfulness meditation is beneficial for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, yet little is known regarding the neural mechanisms through which mindfulness modulates emotional responses. Thus, a central objective of this functional magnetic resonance imaging study was to investigate the effects of mindfulness on the neural responses to emotionally laden...

Mindfulness-based stress reduction in patients with irritable bowel syndrome: authors’ reply

Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics August 2, 2011 David J. Kearney, Tracy L. Simpson

Sirs, We would like to thank Drs Asarel and Simren for their comments regarding our work.1 We certainly agree that studies of mindfulness interventions for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are of potentially great clinical importance.

Several statistical analyses, including a hierarchical linear regression analysis, were conducted. Results...

[Mindfulness and the development of professional health competence in nursing].

Pflege August 1, 2011 Marianne Brieskorn-Zinke

Health competence is not only a requirement for personal health action; it is also a condition for professionalisation of health promotion. Health promotion has meanwhile become a well recognised part of nursing. This is the reason why in this study the term "health competence", which is actually very much discussed in health sciences, is presented. This concept is knowledge based (health...

The effects of a mindfulness‐based stress reduction programme on pre‐sleep cognitive arousal and insomnia symptoms: a pilot study

Stress and Health August 1, 2011 Andrea L. Cincotta, Philip Gehrman, Nalaka S. Gooneratne et al.

AbstractThe use of mindfulness meditation for stress management has grown in recent years. Practising mindfulness meditation has been shown to help manage stress and decrease arousal, both of which are associated with difficulty sleeping; thus, mindfulness‐based stress management programmes may have a positive impact on sleep. The effects of an 8‐week mindfulness‐based stress management...

Adapting Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Clinical Case Study

Cognitive and Behavioral Practice August 1, 2011 Stuart J. Eisendrath, M. Chartier, Maura Mclane

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is currently ranked the third leading cause of disability in the world. Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) causes the majority of MDD's disability. Strikingly, 50% of individuals with MDD will fail to remit with two adequate trials of antidepressant medications, thus qualifying as treatment resistant. Current pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment...
