[Buddha-l] Volume 54 Issue 52

[Ngawang Dorje]

Hi,
 
Have anyone seen this:
 






 

Buddhist are really happier
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3047291.stm
 
 
Referring to the new scanning methods used in University of Wisconsin, it says:
 
"Their tests showed this area of the Buddhists' brains are constantly lit up and not just when they are meditating. "
 
Also:
 
"Researchers at University of California San Francisco Medical Centre have found the practise can tame the amygdala, an area of the brain which is the hub of fear memory. "
 
I am unable to locate any paper published by Davidson or Ekman on the above..
Can anyone help me?
 
Thanks,
Rahula
