“…The earliest neuroimaging study conducted in individuals with different ability to accept suggestions revealed a larger anterior part of the corpus callosum [27], but recent investigation has not confirmed this difference between hypnotizability groups [28]. Reduction in the entire brain volume (including white and grey matter) has been observed in individuals able to experience hypnosis [29], i.e., the highs.…”

Studies in the field of experimental hypnosis highlighted the role of hypnotizability in the physiological variability of the general population. It is associated, in fact, with a few differences which are observable in the ordinary state of consciousness and in the absence of suggestions. The aim of the present scoping review is summarizing them and indicate their relevance to the neural mechanisms of hypnosis and to the prognosis and treatment of a few medical conditions. Individuals with high, medium and low hypnotizability scores display different cerebral functional differences—i.e., functional equivalence between imagery and perception/action, excitability of the motor cortex, interoceptive accuracy—possibly related to brain structural and functional characteristics, and different control of blood supply at peripheral and cerebral level, likely due to different availability of endothelial nitric oxide. These differences are reviewed to support the idea of their participation in hypnotic behaviour and to indicate their prognostic and therapeutic usefulness in a few medical conditions.

Studies in the field of experimental hypnosis highlighted the role of hypnotizability in the physiological variability of the general population.

Individuals with high, medium and low hypnotizability scores display different cerebral functional differences – i.e., functional equivalence between imagery and perception/action, excitability of the motor cortex, interoceptive accuracy - possibly related to brain structural and functional characteristics -, and different control of blood supply at peripheral and cerebral level, likely due to different availability of endothelial nitric oxide.

The primary objective of this review is to analyze the main theoretical perspectives that define hypnosis, the value of considering it as a unique phenomenon, the evidence that sustains that view, and its effect on research. For more than a century in which the subject has been studied, the results are still hampered by a methodological flaw since the beginning of the research, the definition of the phenomenon. This review used the Medline via Pubmed as database for bibliographic search, including a total of 41 studies, where it could be found that 72,7% of the surveyed studies, adopt the approach in which there's an alternate state of consciousness to explain the phenomenon and to guide its interpretations, even though there isn't enough evidence to sustain the existence of an alternate state of consciousness exclusively hypnotic and it's relation to the capability of hypnotic response. In conclusion, it's suggested the performance of more studies that bring a merger between sociocognitive and state of mind perspectives, so that the findings can come to help with the evolution of hypnosis, which already presents strong results when applied in different medical and psychotherapeutic treatments, predominantly in the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
