This longitudinal study applied a distinct and standardized meditative technique with a group of volunteers in a short\u2010term training program to analyze brain metabolic changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The effect of 7\u00a0weeks of meditation exercises (focused attention meditation, FAM) was assessed on 27 healthy volunteers. Changes in cerebral energy metabolism were investigated using\n                      <jats:sup>31<\/jats:sup>\n                      P\u2010MR spectroscopy.

Depression and anxiety scores revealed a lower level of state anxiety at T2 compared to T1. From T1 to T2, energy metabolism ratios showed the following differences: PCr\/ATP increased right occipitally; Pi\/ATP decreased bilaterally in the basal ganglia and temporal lobe on the right; PCr\/Pi increased in occipital lobe bilaterally, in the basal ganglia and in the temporal lobe on the right side. The pH decreased temporal on the left side and frontal in the right side. The observed changes in the temporal areas and basal ganglia may be interpreted as a higher energetic state, whereas the frontal and occipital areas showed changes that may be related to a down\u2010regulation in ATP turnover, energy state, and oxidative capacity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of the current study indicate for the first time in a longitudinal study that even short\u2010term training in FAM may have considerable effects on brain energy state with different local energy management in specific brain regions. Especially higher energetic state in basal ganglia may represent altered function in their central role in complex cerebral distributed networks including frontal and temporal areas. Further studies including different forms of relaxation techniques should be performed for more specific and reliable insights.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.1914","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T18:48:09Z","timestamp":1607626089000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Short\u2010term meditation training influences brain energy metabolism: A pilot study on\n                    <sup>31<\/sup>\n                    P MR spectroscopy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6859-8377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elke R.","family":"Gizewski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"},{"name":"Neuroimaging Research Core Facility Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6905-9575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruth","family":"Steiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"},{"name":"Neuroimaging Research Core Facility Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michaela","family":"Waibel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogamood Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8627-3995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergiy","family":"Pereverzyev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"},{"name":"Neuroimaging Research Core Facility Medical University Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick J.
