Here, we review the neurophysiological and neuroimaging changes that mediation induces
in structural and functional MRI. The available evidence from structural studies suggests that …

There is accumulating evidence that training working memory (WM) leads to beneficial
effects in tasks that were not trained, but the mechanisms underlying this transfer remain …

Although neuroscientific research has revealed experience-dependent brain changes
across the life span in sensory, motor, and cognitive domains, plasticity relating to social …

Fluid intelligence is important for successful functioning in the modern world, but much
evidence suggests that fluid intelligence is largely immutable after childhood. Recently …

A convergent line of neuroscientific evidence suggests that meditation alters the functional
and structural plasticity of distributed neural processes underlying attention and emotion …

The analysis of functional connectivity at rest (rFC) enables us to know how brain regions
within and between networks interact. In this study, we used resting-state functional …

Increased preference for immediate over delayed rewards and for risky over certain rewards
has been associated with unhealthy behavioral choices. Motivated by evidence that …

Television (TV) viewing is known to affect children's verbal abilities and other physical,
cognitive, and emotional development in psychological studies. However, the brain …

The human brain is a highly interconnected network. Recent studies have shown that the
functional and anatomical features of this network are organized in an efficient small-world …

Working memory (WM) training (WMT) alters the task-related brain activity and structure of
the external attention system (EAS). We investigated whether WMT also alters resting-state …
