BRAIN CORRELATES OF HYPNOSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYTIC EXPLORATION
(2017)


MATHIEU LANDRY, MICHAEL LIFSHITZ, AMIR RAZ


NEUROSCIENCE AND BIOBEHAVIORAL REVIEWS

Imaging of the living human brain elucidates the neural dynamics of hypnosis;
however, few reliable brain patterns emerge across studies. Here, we
methodically assess neuroimaging assays of hypnosis to uncover common neural
configurations using a twofold approach. First, we systematically review
research on the neural correlates of hypnotic phenomena; then, we meta-analyze
these collective data seeking specific activation and deactivation patterns that
typify hypnosis. Anchored around the ...

THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX AND SUGGESTION: HYPNOSIS VS. PLACEBO EFFECTS (2016)


BENJAMIN A. PARRIS*


FRONTIERS IN PSYCHOLOGY

Suggestion has been defined as a form of communicable ideation or belief, that
once accepted has the capacity to exert profound changes on a person's mood,
thoughts, perceptions and behaviors (Halligan and Oakley, 2014). The prefrontal
region (the region of the frontal cortex anterior to the motor areas) of the
human cerebral cortex appears to play an important role in suggestion (Asp et
al., 2012). Children, with still-developing prefrontal cortices, are more
susceptible to suggestion (Ceci et al., 1987; Bruck and Ceci, 1995). Older

SUGGESTIONS TO REDUCE CLINICAL FIBROMYALGIA PAIN AND EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED PAIN
PRODUCE PARALLEL EFFECTS ON PERCEIVED PAIN BUT DIVERGENT FUNCTIONAL MRI–BASED
BRAIN ACTIVITY (2016)


STUART W.G. DERBYSHIRE, MATTHEW G. WHALLEY, STANLEY T.H. SEAH, AND DAVID A.
OAKLEY,


PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE

Objective: Hypnotic suggestion is an empirically validated form of pain control;
however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Methods: Thirteen
fibromyalgia patients received suggestions to alter their clinical pain, and 15
healthy controls received suggestions to alter experimental heat pain.
Suggestions were delivered before and after hypnotic induction with ...

IMPROVING WORKING MEMORY PERFORMANCE IN BRAIN-INJURED PATIENTS USING HYPNOTIC
SUGGESTION (2017)


JONAS K. LINDELØV, RIKKE OVERGAARD, MORTEN OVERGAARD


BRAIN (2017) 140 (4): 1100-1106.

Working memory impairment is prevalent in brain injured patients across lesion
aetiologies and severities. Unfortunately, rehabilitation efforts for this
impairment have hitherto yielded small or no effects. Here we show in a
randomized actively controlled trial that working memory performance can be
effectively restored by suggesting to hypnotized patients that they have
regained their pre-injury level of working memory functioning. Following four
1-h sessions, 27 patien...
