We are well aware of the positive effects of meditation on daily life and mental well-being. Various studies have established that there is a connection between meditative practice and brain activity. However, the specific neural activity underlying meditative practices is still not well understood.
A recent study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that meditation led to changes in activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, key brain regions involved in emotional regulation and memory. The researchers used intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings from deep within the brain.
The study is unique in that it used advanced invasive neural recording techniques. Said techniques provide much more detailed and precise insight into the brain in comparison with traditional techniques like scalp EEG.
The findings of the study will contribute immensely towards the development of meditation-based approaches for improving memory and emotional regulation in the future. Meditation is noninvasive and doesn’t require specialized equipment or medical resources and so it will be an easy-to-use tool for improving mental well-being.
