It reports on a controlled study showing that meditators showed increases in gray matter in areas of the brain associated with empathy, memory, stress, and attention span. No such changes were observed in the control group. Also an interesting finding was that around the amygdala, gray matter decreased.

Participants may recall our discussion of the left and right amygdalas in the NBI certification training program. The article which was sourced from the Journal: Nature Neuroscience http://www.nature.com/neuro/index.html supports the idea of how brain structures are related to human behavior.
