Methods Yoga practitioners across the US (82 men, 456 women, mean age 44 years) completed standardized questionnaires on the Internet, including full time teachers (N=44) and part time teachers (N=118). Demographics were similar to those of nationally representative samples of yoga practitioners. Dose was calculated as minutes/week of studio, home, and studio + home practice along with studio +...

Stratospheric measurements of acetylene up to altitudes of 30 km are presented. The air samples were collected during three different balloon flights, two of them at 44°N, one at nON using balloon borne, liquid neon-eooled, cryosamplers. Their acetylene concentration was measured in the laboratory by flame ionisation gaschromatography. The different profiles at nON and 44°N are discussed with r...

We welcome opinions about the role of Broca’s area in higher-order cognition. Nevertheless, it was with somewhat of a surprise that we read the recent contribution by Grodzinsky and Santi [1] on this topic. Although they write that ‘Broca’s region might well be multifunctional’ [1], Grodzinsky and Santi nevertheless conclude that the main role of Broca’s region (more specifically Brodmann’s are...

al Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and long ch stimuli, we addressed the question of neuronal ed in prosodic integration by comparing (1) differences y when hearing connected speech stimuli with high and prosodic expression; (2) differences in brain activity in otic listening conditions (normal speech delivery to both and low-pass-filtered speech delivery to both ears, i.e., ects of high and ...

Controlled semantic retrieval to words elicits co-activation of inferior frontal (IFG) and left posterior temporal cortex (pMTG), but research has not yet established (i) the distinct contributions of these regions or (ii) whether the same processes are recruited for non-verbal stimuli. Words have relatively flexible meanings - as a consequence, identifying the context that links two specific w...
