Abstract in brief

  • This review examines how mindfulness-based interventions impact the brains of young people aged 0-18 using neuroimaging studies, analyzing 13 research articles involving 467 participants.
  • Key findings show that mindfulness can increase connectivity within and between brain networks like the salience network, default mode network, and frontoparietal network, and improve white matter structure, which may support better self-regulation and cognitive control.
  • However, due to differences in study methods and small sample sizes, more research with larger, standardized studies is needed to fully understand the neural effects of mindfulness interventions in youth.
