Summary
The brain has a never-ending ability to change. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s extraordinary ability to change, grow and even rewire itself.
Buddhist monks are willing participants in a study to discover the connection between the mind and the brain. Looking inward has become a way of life for Buddhist monks, and meditation is one tool in their quest for enlightenment. Buddhist monks have spent the last five years volunteering for a study, in which their brains were studied – in which scientists are studying how the monk’s mental training changes the brain.
The study tests how physical training and experience can alter brain circuits. They are investigating whether meditation can change the brain’s way of dealing with emotion.
