The effects of meditation on the body have been studied extensively and findings show that meditation can affect both the brain's structure and functions.

Structurally, those who meditate tend to have increased cortical thickness (gray matter concentration) of the hippocampus - the part of the brain responsible for regulating emotions and memory, as well as certain areas of the brain that play roles in emotion regulation, self-awareness, compassion, and introspection.

They also tend to have decreased volume in the amygdala- the part of the brain responsible for emotions such as stress, fear, and anxiety.

Some expert meditators have been known to develop a thicker cerebral cortex-the outer layer of the brain responsible for more sophisticated thought processes such as introspection and abstract thinking.

Additionally meditators are are better able to regulate the connection between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for regulating the responses to stress that start in the amygdala. Meditators will still experience stress but are better at maintaining calm and responding effectively.
