Increased default mode network connectivity associated with meditation
Abstract
Areas associated with the default mode network (DMN) are substantially similar to those associated with meditation practice. However, no studies on DMN connectivity during resting states have been conducted on meditation practitioners. It was hypothesized that meditators would show heightened functional connectivity in areas of cortical midline activity. Thirty-five meditation practitioners and 33 healthy controls without meditation experience were included in this study. All subjects received 4.68-min resting state functional scanning runs. The posterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex were chosen as seed regions for the DMN map. Meditation practitioners demonstrated greater functional connectivity within the DMN in the medial prefrontal cortex area (xyz=339-21) than did controls. These results suggest that the long-term practice of meditation may be associated with functional changes in regions related to internalized attention even when meditation is not being practiced.

Functional connectivity studies indicate increased connectivity between anterior and posterior default mode network nodes at rest and during meditation in experienced meditators with 10,000 h of practice but not following 8 weeks of training.

“Second, mindfulness meditation training has been shown to alter intrinsic functional connectivity within and between these networks during rest in both healthy (Brewer et al. 2011; Jang et al. 2011; Taylor et al. 2012) and clinical populations (Wells et al. 2013).”

“During meditation (i.e., meditation-state functional connectivity [msFC]), strengthening of connectivity between DMN, dorsal attention network (DAN), and salience network nodes (Froeliger, Garland, Kozink, et al., 2012), and between DMN nodes and cognitive control/error-monitoring nodes, have been observed concomitant…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
