“…The nine significance clusters, indicating different age-related correlations in meditators, are spanning large areas of the brain and include several structures where prior studies-although not focusing on aging effects per se-had revealed meditation effects, either as cross-sectional group differences and/or as longitudinal changes. For example, resembling the spatial location of previous observations, we detected significant group-by-age interactions within the left hippocampus [C1] (Holzel et al, 2011;Luders et al, 2013a,b), left and right insula [C2, C4] (Lazar et al, 2005;Holzel et al, 2008;Luders et al, 2012), left posterior cingulate gyrus [C1] (Holzel et al, 2011), right anterior cingulate gyrus [C3] (Grant et al, 2010(Grant et al, , 2013, left and right superior frontal lobe, including precentral gyrus and central sulcus [C1, C2, C3, C5] (Lazar et al, 2005;Luders et al, 2009Luders et al, , 2012Grant et al, 2013;Kang et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2014), left and right inferior frontal lobe, including orbital gyrus [C3] (Luders et al, 2009;Vestergaard-Poulsen et al, 2009;Kang et al, 2013), left and right parietal lobe, including supramarginal gyrus, angular gyrus, and secondary somatosensory cortex [C1, C2, C4, C9] (Grant et al, 2010(Grant et al, , 2013Leung et al, 2013), right middle/inferior temporal cortex [C2] (Kang et al, 2013), left temporo-parietal junction [C4] (Holzel et al, 2011), right thalamus [C8] (Luders et al, 2009), as well as left and right cerebellum [C6] (VestergaardPoulsen et al, 2009;Holzel et al, 2011).…”
