A Correction on
The effect of mind--body exercise on cognitive function and neuroplasticity in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis

by Tian, H., Yang, X., Li, J., Cheng, Y., Tian, S., Meng, F., Zhu, Q., Shen, Y., Wang, T., Guo, C., and Zhu, Y. (2025). Front. Aging Neurosci. 17:1683808. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2025.1683808

In the published article, the figures were in the erroneously ordered and did not reflect the intended sequence. The images that should have appeared as Figure 1 and Figure 2 were displayed as Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively (and vice versa). The caption texts are accurate, but due to this mislabeling, the order in which the figures appeared did not correspond to the sequence in which they were cited in the text. The order has now been corrected.

Figure 1
Flowchart illustrating a systematic review process: 433 articles identified by database search and 4 from other sources, 373 screened after duplicates removed, 333 excluded, 40 full-text articles assessed, and 9 articles included after exclusions.

Figure 1. PRISMA diagram.

Figure 2
Forest plot comparing four studies for a continuous outcome, displaying experimental versus control group means, standard deviations, total sample sizes, and weights. Mean differences with ninety-five percent confidence intervals are represented by green squares and horizontal lines, with a pooled estimate shown as a black diamond to the right. Confidence intervals generally favor the experimental group, and the overall mean difference is one point six zero, with a ninety-five percent confidence interval from zero point seven zero to two point five zero. Heterogeneity statistics and significance test results are included below the plot.

Figure 3
Panel A shows two lateral and two medial views of 3D brain models with labeled regions ACC, R-MTG, R-MFG, and R-SFG highlighted by colored spheres. Panel B shows similar brain views with additional labeled regions including L-DLPFC, orbitofrontal, L-MTG, R-orbitalis, ACC, and Rv-entorhinal. Red and blue spheres denote specific areas of interest on each brain.

Figure 3. (A) Changes in gray matter volume in different brain regions after intervention. (B) Changes of ALFF in different brain regions after intervention. The size of the ball represents the size of the Cluster, which indicates the magnitude of significance (Red: increased ALFF, Blue: decreased ALFF). MFG, middle frontal gyrus; SFG, superior frontal gyrus; ACC, anterior cingulate cortex; MTG, middle temporal gyrus; DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; mPFC, medial prefrontal cortex; Rv-entorhinal, right ventral entorhinal cortex.

Figure 4
Figure contains six panels (A–F) of three-dimensional human brain renderings highlighting specific brain regions with colored markers. Each panel shows different orientations (side or top views) and annotations, with red and blue dots indicating regions of interest. Panel F labels regions including R-PostC, R-Insula, and Cerebellum. Panels A and C provide lateral views from left and right, while panels B and D are dorsal views. Panel E shows six angles with anatomical labels, such as R-SMA, L-PreC, and others.

Figure 4. Brain regions exhibiting significant functional connectivity. (A) DAN as the seed point. (B) hippocampus as seed point. (C) The left VTA as seed point. (D) The right VTA as seed point. (E) The right locus coeruleus as the seed point. (F) The left locus coeruleus as the seed spot. The size of the ball represents the size of the Cluster, which indicates the magnitude of significance (Red: Enhanced functional connectivity, Blue: Weakened functional connectivity). PCUN, precuneus; IPL, inferior parietal lobule; ROL, Roland-Dick island gim; FFG, fusiform gyrus; Pre-CG, precentral gyrus; MFG, middle frontal gyrus; AG, angular gyrus; OFC, orbitofrontal gyrus amygdala; NA, nucleus accumbens; AI, anterior insula; TPJ, temporoparietal symphysi; SMA, Supplementary Motor Area; insula, insular cortex; PreC, Precentral gyrus; ACC, Anterior cingulate cortex; PostC, Postcentral gyrus cerebellum.
