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. Areas associated with self-awareness, compassion, and introspection also saw increased gray matter. Overall, the study provides evidence that meditating can alter the brain's structure in ways that support well-being and emotional balance.
