The team also imaged the subjects» brains one and 15 days after stimulation, finding increases in neural connectivity in their associative memory network. (scientificamerican.com)
And new evidence from in - utero fetal brain scans shows, for the first time, that this connection directly affects brain development: A mother's stress during pregnancy changes neural connectivity in the brain of her unborn child. (sciencedaily.com)
The study also revealed that an area of the brain called the default mode network, which is involved in activities like daydreaming and thinking about the past and the future, shows greater neural connectivity in meditators than nonmeditators. (yogajournal.com)
