Abstract
Neuroscientists and genetics started a new era in human history. Neuroscience is a modern science and it developed after 1950. Scientific study of the body investigates how the messages in transit from the senses to the brain and make decisions and feelings. The neuron system of the body is the coordinator of the transiting information in the body. Neurons are cells specialized for communication. The Majjhima Nikaya mentions the process of sense perception. Depending on the visual organ and the visible objects, it arises visual consciousness; the meeting together of these three is contact; because of contact arises feeling. What one feels, one perceives; what one perceives; one reason about; what one reason about, one is obsessed with. What one is obsessed with, due to that, concepts characterized by such obsessed perceptions assail him in regard to visible objects cognizable by the visual organ, belonging to the past, the future and the present. Buddhism accepts the testimony as a source of knowledge. Buddhism recognizes experiences, both sensory and extrasensory and reasoning or inference based on experience as sources of knowledge. Scientific method of finding new knowledge and Buddhist view point of finding new knowledge similar to each other in this contest. The modern neuroscientist explores about the brain mechanisms pertain of attention and emotion. The Buddhist Meditation answers to physical and mental problems and boost the physical and mental strength. The Buddhist Meditation and neuroscientist both do an experiment in the similar field. By these interdisciplinary study can understand the mechanism of the brain and the utility of the Meditation boost the processes of the brain. The modern scientific experiment described the negative effects of stress on the body. The relaxation is linked to higher levels of feel-good chemicals such as serotonin and to the growth hormone which repairs cells and tissue, lowering heart rate, boosting immunity and strengthening the body.
