The anatomical correlates of long-term meditators involved in practice of "SOHAM" meditation have been studied using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). The VBM analysis indicates significantly higher gray matter density in brain stem, ventral pallidum, and supplementary motor area in the meditators as compared with age-matched nonmeditators. The observed changes in brain structure are compared with other forms of meditation.
运用基于体素的形态测量法(VBM)对长期参与“唵嘛呢叭咪吽”冥想练习的冥想者的解剖学关联进行了研究。VBM分析表明,与年龄匹配的非冥想者相比,冥想者脑干、腹侧苍白球和辅助运动区的灰质密度显著更高。将观察到的大脑结构变化与其他形式的冥想进行了比较。
