Thank you for the update on brain research coming out of Sara Lazar's lab. Her contributions are so informative and your retelling of them in this post was enlightening. I was not aware of this current study.
I wonder if you know of any other research regarding changes to the insula after meditation, not specific to MBSR, for a period of time? I teach a variety
meditation techniques and mention her earlier findings about changes to the insula.
Thank you Douglas, for posting many interesting blog posts over the months and years I guess now that I've read from you.
