Using multi-modal brain imaging techniques we found pronounced changes in neuronal activity after hypnotic trance induction whereby state changes seem to occur synchronously with the specific induction instructions. In clinical patients, hypnosis proved to be a powerful method in inhibiting the reaction of the fear circuitry structures. The aim of the present paper is to critically discuss the limitations of the current neuroscientific research database in the light of a debate in defining relevant hypnotic constructs and to suggest ideas for future research projects. We discuss the role of hypnotic suggestibility (HS), the impact of hypnotic inductions and the importance of the depth of hypnotic trance. We argue that future research on brain imaging studies on the effects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy should focus on the analysis of individual cross-network activation patterns. A most promising approach is to simultaneously include physiological parameters linked to cognitive, somatic, and behavioral effects.
使用多模态脑成像技术，我们发现催眠诱导后神经元活动发生了明显变化，状态变化似乎与特定的诱导指令同步发生。在临床患者中，催眠被证明是抑制恐惧回路结构反应的有效方法。本文的目的是批判性地讨论当前神经科学研究数据库的局限性，鉴于对定义相关催眠结构的争论，并为未来的研究项目提出想法。我们讨论了催眠暗示性（HS）的作用、催眠诱导的影响以及催眠深度的重要性。我们认为，未来关于催眠和催眠治疗效果的脑成像研究应侧重于分析个体跨网络激活模式。最有前途的方法是同时包括与认知、躯体和行为效果相关的生理参数。
