🧠 Impact of Mindfulness on Brain Activity: A Review 🧘‍♂️

Mindfulness interventions are being used more and more to help with mental health, but we still don't know exactly how they work. This study looked at how mindfulness affects the brain using fancy brain scans called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

  • They found that after 8 sessions of mindfulness, the insular cortex in the brain became more active. This could help us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings in the moment.

  • Surprisingly, they didn't find strong evidence for changes in other parts of the brain, like the prefrontal cortex, that other studies have found.

  • The results varied across different groups of people and tasks, so more research is needed to figure out exactly how mindfulness affects the brain.

This study shows that mindfulness can actually change how our brains work, specifically in the insula. So, practicing mindfulness might help us be more aware of our thoughts and feelings, which can be good for our mental wellness. 🧠💭
