Note. ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; BOLD = blood oxygen dependent; L = left; MBSR = mindfulness-based stress reduction; PFC = prefrontal cortex; R = right; Vol = volume. t-value threshold ≥ 3.69, df = 13, voxel p < .005, minimum cluster volume threshold ≥ 163 mm3 (4 voxels × 3.438 mm3), cluster p < .01.
