Meditation Improves Cognition in those with Memory Loss
The Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation announced data demonstrating that a specific meditation performed daily for eight weeks increased brain activity in areas central to memory and actually improved cognition in patients suffering from memory problems. The results of the study, conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, were published in an early online version of an article that appeared in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease1 (Volume 20:2, April 2010).
