Trait Mindfulness and Functional Connectivity in Cognitive and Attentional Resting State Networks
Open accessAbstract
Mindfulness has been described as an orienting of attention to the present moment, with openness and compassion. Individuals displaying high trait mindfulness exhibit this tendency as a more permanent personality attribute. Given the numerous physical and mental health benefits associated with mindfulness, there is a great interest in understanding the neural substrates of this trait. The purpose of the current research was to examine how individual differences in trait mindfulness associated with functional connectivity in five resting-state networks related to cognition and attention: the default mode network, the salience network, the central executive network, and the dorsal and ventral attention networks. Twenty-eight undergraduate participants completed the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), a self-report measure of trait mindfulness which also provides scores on five of its sub-categories (Observing, Describing, Acting with Awareness, Non-judging of Inner Experience, and Non-reactivity to Inner Experience). Participants then underwent a structural MRI scan and a seven-minute resting state functional MRI scan. Resting-state data were analyzed using independent-component analyses. An analysis of covariance was performed to determine the relationship between each resting state network and each FFMQ score. These analyses indicated that (1) trait mindfulness and its facets showed increased functional connectivity with neural regions related to attentional control, interoception, and executive function; and (2) trait mindfulness and its facets showed decreased functional connectivity with neural regions related to self-referential processing and mind wandering. These patterns of functional connectivity are consistent with some of the benefits of mindfulness – enhanced attention, self-regulation, and focus on present experience. This study provides support for the notion that non-judgmental attention to the present moment facilitates the integration of regions in neural networks that are related to cognition, attention, and sensation.

The Discussion (Facets of Trait Mindfulness; page unavailable) reports connectivity differences involving the insula and, separately, differences between meditators and controls involving the MPFC—not insula–thalamus connectivity. Searches for insula–thalamus connectivity and lysergic acid diethylamide found no passage addressing either part of the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)

“Previous reports in the literature showed evidence MM improved cognition of older adults (Chan et al., 2019; Fam et al., 2020; Yakobi et al., 2021), and trait mindfulness has also been associated with cognition (Fiocco & Mallya, 2015; Parkinson et al., 2019; Verhaeghen, 2021).”

“For mindfulness and open-monitoring practices particularly, it may be argued that meditation training systematically trains the shift from narrative, reflective/experiential self-processing to an embodied, affective-salience-guided experiential self state ( Farb et al. 2007, Parkinson et al. 2019).”

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.
