Mindfulness meditation increases default mode, salience, and central executive network connectivity

This study found increased Functional Connectivity (FC) between nodes of the default mode network (DMN) and nodes of the salience network (SN) in participants of the Mindfulness Meditation Training. Seed-based correlation analyses revealed further connectivity increases between the SN and key regions of the central executive network (CEN). These results indicate, that, among multiple Large Scale Networks, one month of mindfulness meditation effectively increases interconnectivity between networks of the triple network model (DMN, SN, CEN).
