Histology-based SWM microstructure intensity profile. Top: SWM sampling framework from 3D postmortem histology. The Laplacian field within the white matter domain was solved for each histological classified volume to sample 50 SWM surfaces, spanning from the GM/WM interface to 3 mm into the white matter. These surfaces were then mapped to each histological staining method, allowing the extraction of intensity profiles for each vertex across SWM depths. Bottom: Alterations in the intensity distributions of histological features across SWM depths. The GM/WM interface (0 mm) and 25 representative SWM surfaces (up to 3 mm into the white matter) are shown. The surfaces showing the greatest variation in SWM, from 0 to 1.8 mm into the white matter, were mapped onto the brain alongside the intensity profiles on the left.

Studies indicate that sustained meditation practice modulates functional connectivity, alters stress-related circuits, and engages neuroplastic mechanisms in regions linked to attention, interoception, and emotional regulation. In this post, we explore the empirical evidence supporting these claims. Source: Image generated with DALL·E 2.

Sustained #meditation practice induces measurable #neuroplasticity: #CorticalThickening, #GrayMatter/ #WhiteMatter changes, #DMN modulation, stronger attention and emotion‑regulation networks, and reduced #stress reactivity. In #Buddhist terms, these findings […]

How are human brain regions connected? Are the connecting axons thicker and more myelinated the longer these connecting fibers are?

In our recent paper we find that indeed, they are! Read the skeetorial below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
