Abstract

Commentary: Meditation Effects within the Hippocampal Complex Revealed by Voxel-Based Morphometric and Cytoarchitectonic Probabilistic Mapping.

Highlights

  • Specialty section: This article was submitted to Consciousness Research, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology

  • Increases in volume or density of gray matter have been found in a number of areas involved in mediating meditation experience, such as the frontal pole, orbito-frontal cortex, anterior cingulate, insula, sensory cortices, and the hippocampal complex (Lazar et al, 2005; Hölzel et al, 2008; Luders et al, 2009)

  • The whole brain voxelwise analysis was performed, which revealed a cluster near the left hippocampus with significantly more gray matter in meditators than in controls, positively correlated with years of meditation practice
