An Erratum on
Yoga, meditation and mind-body health: increased BDNF, cortisol awakening response, and altered inflammatory marker expression after a 3-month yoga and meditation retreat

by Cahn, B. R., Goodman, M. S., Peterson, C. T., Maturi, R., and Mills, P. J. (2017). Front. Hum. Neurosci. 11:315. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2017.00315

In 2022, the authors submitted a correction in relation to their conflict of interest statement. This needs to be amended on the advice of the Editorial Office.

The original conflict of interest statement read:

“The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.”

The corrected conflict of interest statement read:

“This study received funding from co-author RM. RM has no financial relationship with Isha Yoga and had the following involvement with the study: organized data collection and analyzed results. The corresponding BC and senior PM authors had full executive control over and ownership of the data, processing of biological samples, final analysis, and interpretation of results, as well as the write-up and decision to publish. CP is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego partially funded by the Chopra Foundation. PM is the Scientific Director of the Chopra Foundation. The Chopra Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to improving health and well-being partly through research on yoga and meditation and is connected with the Chopra Center that offers meditation and yoga courses.”

The conflict of interest statement now reads:

“This study received funding from co-author RM. RM has no financial relationship with Isha Yoga and had the following involvement with the study: Organized data collection, analyzed results. The corresponding BC and senior PM authors had full executive control over and ownership of the data, processing of biological samples, final analysis, and interpretation of results, as well as the write-up and decision to publish. PM is the Scientific Director of the Chopra Foundation.
