Good point, Xeno. I was going to comment that (ironically, in a post about
age-related brain atrophy), when I started reading it I knew immediately that
the text of Buck's post wasn't written by him and was lifted verbatim from the
article.
How? The language made sense.
Therefore, given recent trends, it couldn't have been written by Buck.

You realise this is not a TM study. It has been shown that mindfulness
meditation thickens the frontal cortex, so a result such as this might be
expected. The study says the meditators 'were recruited from various venues in
the greater Los Angeles area', so the study likely has a mix of various kinds
of meditation. The only kind of meditation referenced in the references was
mindfulness.

Jai Guru Dev, While overall life expectancy has been increasing, the human

the negative impact of aging on the brain are desirable..Much research has
focused on the identification of risk factors, but relatively less attention
has been turned to positive approaches aimed at enhancing cerebral health..
..The outcomes from all three studies seem to suggest that meditation may slow,
stall, or even reverse age-related brain degeneration, as there were less
pronounced negative correlations and even positive correlations in meditators
compared to controls (for a more detailed summary see Luders, 2014).
