In "Mechanisms of white matter changes induced by meditation" researchers found significant changes in white matter with about 5 hours of meditation. Increased axonal density, and increased myelin (fatty tissue around the axons) were found particularly in the anterior cingulate.
The meditation was a form of mindfulness called IBMT, or Integrative Body-Mind Training, and produced significant changes in comparison with a group that did sequential muscle relaxation.
