Although the systematic study of meditation is still in its infancy, research has provided
evidence for meditation-induced improvements in psychological and physiological well-being. …

A large range of sophisticated brain image analysis tools have been developed by the
neuroscience community, greatly advancing the field of human brain mapping. Here we introduce …

This review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging
Genetics through Meta Analysis) Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across …

Using magnetic resonance imaging and well‐validated computational cortical pattern matching
methods in a large and well‐matched sample of healthy subjects (n = 60), we analyzed …

Using magnetic resonance imaging and a new method to analyze local surface shape, we
examined the effects of gender on gyrification in a large and well-matched sample of healthy …

The corpus callosum changes structurally throughout life, but most dramatically during
childhood and adolescence. Even so, existing studies of callosal development tend to use …

Several cortical regions are reported to vary in meditation practitioners. However, prior analyses
have focused primarily on examining gray matter or cortical thickness. Thus, additional …

Cortical complexity, a measure that quantifies the spatial frequency of gyrification and
fissuration of the brain surface, has not been thoroughly characterized with respect to gender …

Very little is currently known about the cerebral characteristics that underlie the complex
processes of meditation as only a limited number of studies have addressed this topic. …

The different brain anatomy of men and women is both a classic and continuing topic of
major interest. Among the most replicated and robust sex differences are larger overall brain …
