[narrator] In that moment,
when you direct your attention back to your breath,
a part of the brain lights up, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It’s one of those brain regions that
sets us primates apart from other animals, part of the control center
that helps us focus. Meditation strengthens its connection
to the DMN, and in brain scans of expert meditators,
their DMNs are less active. This could be the mental muscle
that meditation sessions develop. We are simply practicing the quality
of paying attention over and over again
