446 MILLENNIUM N ancy Craigmyle dedicated over four decades of her career to researching meditation and its benefits for the human body and brain. Through her profound research, Ms. Craigmyle has explored the interrelationship between the anterior cingulate cortex and the integrated central and peripheral norepinephrine system, which she believes may contribute to the positive effects of meditation.

She continued to advance her knowledge as a research assistant in the neuroscience laboratory of a Veterans Administration hospital from 1982 to 1984. Although retired, she keeps abreast of the latest in the field through her continued research. Ms. Craigmyle was featured in the 70th edition of Who’s Who in America.
