"The brains of meditators are structurally different from those of non-meditators. The anterior cingulate cortex - the region associated with controlling impulses and maintaining attention - has more tissue mass, and meditators have more density in the regions responsible focus, awareness, attention control and stress management. These are physical properties that result from purely mental activities.”
