[Buddha-l] Meditation changes the brain structure

[Catalina]

no, but is one. Academics have written and continue to write papers about the same topics all the time. Buddhist academics as well, no? Why not read them? it doesn't mean to agree with everything :)

 Is this the first instance that an academic or medical professional has spoken to changes in the brain due to meditation or prayer?

 Stan ZiobroIs said: " it not the case that our brain changes in accord with 

sensory input 

and/or intentional focus, anyway?  What really is new about this matter?

 "





I guess any of that is new. Our brain changes all the times as you say and in 

many ways (neural connections, number of cells, etc) What is interesting to me 

is to read it in a scientific paper (not that I always believe in what 

scientists say...I'm one...) so we can have this point of view.
