The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of meditation on the brain. Researchers found that meditating for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks can significantly increase brain thickness in areas related to attention and sensory processing. Specifically, regular meditation was found to be associated with increased cortical thickness in the hippocampus, which governs learning and memory, and decreased thickness in the amygdala, which processes fear and anxiety.
