Abstract
⺠Little is known about the cerebral characteristics that underlie meditation. ⺠Our DTI study revealed enhanced structural connectivity in meditators. ⺠FA was larger within projection, commissural, and association pathways. ⺠Largest effects were observed bilaterally within CST and UNC, and within left tSLF. ⺠Meditation might be a powerful tool to change the physical structure of the brain.
