Summary
This study used special brain scans (PET imaging) to compare the brains of 40 people: experienced meditators with at least 10 years of practice and non-meditators. The goal was to see if meditation is linked to differences in brain synapses, which are the connections between brain cells. The study did not test any treatment, but aimed to understand how meditation might affect brain health.
