Study determines that you CAN grow more brain cells using meditation

[ziggystarlust]

An interesting 2011 study from Harvard/Massacheucetts General. They MRI'd people before and after an eight week meditation program. Hippocampus grew, while the Amygdalae shrunk a bit. Why the latter point, I am not sure-but it is heartening to know that it may be possible to grow some new grey matter, as I have probably destroyed a few along the course of my life.
