Is meditation associated with altered brain structure? A systematic review and meta-analysis of morphometric neuroimaging in meditation practitioners
Numerous studies have begun to address how the brain's gray and white matter may be
shaped by meditation. This research is yet to be integrated, however, and two fundamental …
