the age-affected brain regions were much more extended in controls than in meditators, with significant group-by-age interactions in numerous clusters throughout the brain. Altogether, these findings seem to suggest less age-related gray matter atrophy in long-term meditation practitioners.
Podría ser causalidad inversa pero dada la plausibilidad fisiológica, es muy posible que sea causal.
