People make a lot of different physical exercises to improve body tone and increase lean body mass, but is it possible to "pump up" the brain?
The remaining 22 people in the control group.To understand how meditation affects people, U.S. experts examined the structure of the brain of participants using a three-dimensional magnetic resonance scanning technology and two additional methods of analysis.
One of them divides the brain into a few interesting parts, and allows you to quickly draw conclusions about the size of a particular site. The second distinguishes different types of tissue and makes it possible to compare the amount of gray matter in each of the departments.
It was found that certain structures in the head of experienced meditators were quite different from those of "normal" people, and for the better. The right side of the orbital-frontal cortex - one of the areas of the brain that can "pump" through meditation.
In particular, the researchers found that people who practice meditation, larger the hippocampus and parts of the orbital-frontal cortex, the thalamus and the temporal gyrus of the bottom. Previously, other experts have shown that these regions are responsible for the emotional state, as well as its ability to control responses.
"Now I understand why these people have an exceptional ability to adjust to positive thinking, to quickly restore your emotional balance, to be more attentive. Apparently, they are in this very conducive to the restructuring of the brain, "-
Thus, scientists have discovered what the anatomical "consequences" of the ability to turn inward, and said that it does not matter what kind of meditation is selected person.
In the future, experts will determine what is the impact of meditation on the body at the microscopic level - to find out whether there are changes in the number or size of neurons, or the same thing as the links between them.
