Partial correlation coefficients (Π; y-axis) for all pairwise relationships between default mode network regions (x-axis). Triangles represent the group of experienced meditators, and squares represent the group of beginner meditators. PCC = posterior cingulate cortex; PC = precuneus; DMPFC = dorso-medial prefrontal cortex; VMPFC = ventro-medial prefrontal cortex; IPL = inferior parietal lobule; ITC = inferolateral temporal cortex; PHG = parahippocampal gyrus; R = right; L = left. *Significant group differences (P > 0.95).
