This study examines pathways from chronic stress and inflammation to neuronal atrophy in healthy mid-aged adults using structural equation models.

This study shows that a socio-affective mental training module increases hippocampal subfield volume and functional connectivity, correlating with reduced cortisol levels in healthy adults.

This study shows that social and interoceptive mental training leads to changes in brain function and microstructure, which predict behavioral improvements in attention and empathy.

This study shows that contemplative mental training reduces hair cortisol and cortisone levels in healthy adults, with effects increasing with practice frequency and independent of training content.
