The Mindful Brain: A Systematic Review of the Neural Correlates of Trait Mindfulness

I. N. Treves, K. Pichappan, et al.

Trait mindfulness scales aim to capture nonjudgmental present-moment attention, but their validity is contested. Across 68 MRI, fMRI, and EEG studies, the authors found that higher trait mindfulness is linked to reduced amygdala reactivity to emotional stimuli, increased cortical thickness in frontal and insular regions, and decreased default-mode network connectivity — while EEG and between-network resting-state findings remain inconclusive. Research conducted by Isaac N. Treves, Kannammai Pichappan, Jude Hammoud, Clemens C. C. Bauer, Sebastian Ehmann, Matthew D. Sacchet, and John D. E. Gabrieli.... show more
