Integrative body-mind training
A study involving the participation of a group of colleges students,
who were asked to use a meditation technique called integrative
body-mind training (IBMT involves body relaxation, mental imagery, and
mindfulness training), concluded that "meditating may improve the
integrity and efficiency of certain connections in the brain" through an
increase in their number and robustness Brain scans showed strong white matter changes in the anterior cingulate cortex.
Zazen
Dr. James Austin, a neurophysiologist at the University of Colorado, reported that meditation in Zen "rewires the circuitry" of the brain in his book Zen and the Brain (Austin, 1999). This has been confirmed using functional MRI imaging, a brain scanning technique that measures blood flow in the brain.
