The thickness of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is directly correlated with extinction retention after fear conditioning, suggesting that increased mPFC size following training may explain the ability of meditators to modulate fear, as noted by Milad et al. (2005), Ott et al. (2010a), and Holzel et al. (2011b).
