at statistical map (yoga < controls) of decreased relative glucose metabolism, overlaid on a T1-weighted MR template in neurological convention (PFWE < 0.05 at cluster level, Pheight < 0.001 uncorrected at voxel level, Kext > 1.6 cm3). b Regional relative glucose metabolism in the left parahippocampus (U = 27.0, − 5.7%, p = 0.008) and midbrain (t = 2.4, − 6.0%, p = 0.024). c Negative correlation (ρ = Spearmann rank) between glucose metabolism and years of regular yoga practice, in left parahippocampus (ρ = − 0.63, p = 0.050) and in brainstem (ρ = − 0.64, p = 0.046). dt statistical map (after yoga > at rest) of relative increased glucose metabolism, overlaid on a T1-weighted MR template in neurological convention. PFWE < 0.05 at cluster level, Pheight < 0.001 uncorrected at voxel level, and Kext > 1.6cm3. e Regional relative glucose metabolism in the cerebellum (W = 49.0, 3.2%, p = 0.010). Significance is denoted as: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, uncorrected. t t test, U Mann-Whitney U test; W Wilcoxon signed rank test
