Description
A prospective neuroimaging protocol for 80 elderly adults aged 60–80 years, designed by researchers at Kasturba Hospital and the Center for Integrative Medicine and Research in Manipal, India. The study protocol, last updated in 2026, employs T1-weighted MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and resting-state fMRI to characterize brain structure and function before and after a 6-month structured yoga intervention.
Use Cases
Modeling structural brain changes based on T1-weighted voxel-based morphometry and region-of-interest segmentation data.
Analyzing white matter microstructural integrity based on diffusion tensor imaging with ROI-based tractography.
Investigating functional network connectivity based on resting-state fMRI data.
Evaluating cognitive task performance correlations based on Eriksen Flanker and N-Back task results mentioned in the protocol.
Strengths
Multimodal neuroimaging protocol includes T1-weighted MRI, DTI, and resting-state fMRI for a comprehensive brain assessment.
Study design includes a 6-month pre-post intervention with objective adherence monitoring via triaxial accelerometry.
Clear prospective three-phase protocol with a defined sample size of 80 participants.
