From: Shared cognitive mechanisms of hypnotizability with executive functioning and information salience
Summary of brain regions of interest. Hypnotizability: (A) Hypnotizability is associated with increased functional connectivity between left DLPFC and the dACC 6; High hypnotizability is related to altered activity in the (B) DLPFC7,8,9,10 and the (C) ACC 7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16, and is associated with (D) greater recruitment of the rIFG during incongruent trials of selective attention tasks 16. Perseveration: (A) The interplay between the DLPFC and ACC plays a central role in the processing of cognitive conflicts54; The (B) PFC is related to perseveration in both humans 41,42,43,44 and nonhuman primates 45,46,47; The (C) ACC is also associated with perseveration in both human 49,50,51,52 and animal models 53; (D) The rIFC (includes the rIFG) is a central component in the inhibition of executive control 48; Lower performance on the WCST is linked to impairments in the (B) PFC, (C) ACC, and (D) IFC 63,64,65. ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; DLPFC = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; PFC = prefrontal cortex; rIFC = right inferior frontal cortex; rIFG = right inferior frontal gyrus; WCST = Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
