Apparently the natural tendency of the people is to be gladder than sad, because a genetic predisposition as learned to the activation of those areas of the brain exists as much responsible for the positive emotions.

Considering the meditation Buddhist, as the base of the change, Davidson trained to a group of people submissive situations of stress in the knowledge and practice of the Buddhist meditation during three hours per week throughout two months. The objective era to measure the cerebral impact of this tibetana practice and to discover if the brain of licks that it had made the discovery previous, was an exception of the nature or the result of its effort and perseverancia in the meditation.
