Meta-analytic evidence that mindfulness training alters resting state default mode network connectivity.

This meta-analysis sought to expand upon neurobiological models of mindfulness through investigation of inherent brain network connectivity outcomes, indexed via resting state functional connectivity (rsFC).  The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of rsFC as an outcome of mindfulness training (MT) relative to control. They hypothesized that MT would increase cross-network connectivity between nodes of the Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience Network (SN), and Frontoparietal Control Network (FPCN) as a mechanism of internally-oriented attentional control.
