With the increased focus on what mindfulness practice imaging studies have shown that the association between mindfulness and the brain has indicated that long-term meditators show increased thickness of the mPFC and also enlargement of the right insula (Lazar et al., 2005). The mPFC has been associated with self-observation and mindfulness meditation (Cahn & Polich, 2006). The increased thickness of the mPFC is consistent with reports of improved affect regulation, observance, and attention while the increased thickness of the right insula corresponds to heightened awareness of the meditator's own body.
