Effect of color working memory under Stroop color matching on prefrontal brain activity duing Zen-meditation

摘要：

　　Using an fMRI, we obtained brain activation maps while participants were engaged in the color Stroop task. Brain activity was measured using fMRI for the expert Zen-meditators and age-matched control participants under the congruent- and incongruent-conditions. We found the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), the right PPC (posterior parietal cortex), and the ACC (anterior cingulate cortex) with reduced interference on the Stroop task in Zen-meditators, in contrast with a lack of effect in the control participants. This suggests that Zen-meditation produces brains long-term increases in the efficiency of the executive attentional network of color working memory based on the ACC.
