Meditation and the brain

Sustained meditation practice produces measurable changes in brain structure and function—thickening the prefrontal cortex, quieting the default mode network, and strengthening connections between attention and emotional regulation centers. Understanding these mechanisms grounds meditation in neurobiology rather than belief, and shows why consistency matters more than intensity when building a stable practice.
