Meditation Can 'Turbo Charge' the Brain by Synchronizing Two Key Regions.

Researchers from Boston University have figured out two areas of the brain which must be activated to ‘turbo charge” cognitive functioning. 

Two brain regions – the medial frontal and lateral prefrontal cortices – control most executive function. It was found that by synchronizing these areas of our grey matter, participants in a study experienced better, faster brain functioning. De-synchronizing these areas resulted in the opposite – a slower brain. However, if there is more to the story of our brain’s left or right brain dominance? 

Using high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD-tACS) to synchronize oscillations between the medial frontal and lateral prefrontal cortices, resulted in faster neurotransmitter firing. 

The synchronization of these two areas of the brain also resulted in better communication abilities and more control over the participants’ emotional reactions.'
