"When the team compared brain scans from subjects who had more mindful dispositions....they found a stark difference, the mindful subjects experienced greater activation in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and a greater calming effect in the amygdala after labeling their emotions....These findings may help explain the beneficial health effects of mindfulness meditation, and suggest an underlying reason why mindfulness meditation programs improve good health" (David Creswell, UCLA psychologist).
