The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of meditation on the brain. Brain scans of participants before and after an 8-week meditation training program found increased gray matter in the hippocampus, which governs learning and memory. Additional areas associated with compassion and self-awareness also showed increased density. Overall, the study provides further evidence that meditative practices can induce measurable neuroplastic changes in the brain.
