The neuroscience of mindfulness meditation

Positive effects of mindfulness-based practices on health and cognitive performance have been reported; however, we know little about the underlying mechanisms. Tang and colleagues outline the challenges of meditation research and consider emerging information about the effects of mindfulness meditation on brain structure and function. Research over the past two decades broadly supports the claim that mindfulness meditation — practiced widely for the reduction of stress and promotion of health — exerts beneficial effects on physical and mental health, and cognitive performance. Recent neuroimaging studies have begun to uncover the brain areas and networks that mediate these positive effects. However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear, and it is apparent that more methodologically rigorous studies are required if we are to gain a full understanding of the neuronal and molecular bases of the changes in the brain that accompany mindfulness meditation.
