Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche (YMR) is a Tibetan Buddhist monk, and renowned meditation practitioner and teacher who has spent an extraordinary number of hours of his life meditating. The brain-aging profile of this expert meditator in comparison to a control population was examined using a machine learning framework, which estimates "brain-age" from brain imaging. YMR's brain-aging rate appeared slower than that of controls suggesting early maturation and delayed aging. At 41 years, his brain resembled that of a 33-year-old. Specific regional changes did not differentiate YMR from controls, suggesting that the brain-aging differences may arise from coordinated changes spread throughout the gray matter.
永义明觉仁波切（YMR）是一位藏传佛教僧侣，也是一位著名的冥想修行者和导师，他一生中有大量时间冥想。本研究采用机器学习框架，通过脑影像来估计“脑龄”，以比较这位专业冥想者与对照组的大脑衰老特征。与对照组相比，YMR 的大脑衰老速度似乎较慢，这表明他的大脑成熟较早，衰老较晚。41 岁时，他的大脑与 33 岁的人相似。特定的区域变化并不能将 YMR 与对照组区分开来，这表明大脑衰老的差异可能源于整个灰质的协调变化。
