Neurophysiological correlates of hypnosis and dissociation
Abstract
One of the major advances in psychiatry in recent years, in my opinion, is the growing understanding of the psychopathological consequences of childhood trauma, especially sexual and physical abuse. Multiple personality disorder, for example, has a uniform association with these childhood antecedents. Is it then a retrograde step to look for cerebral dysfunction in dissociative states? Is hypnosis, as David Spiegel suggests in the article to follow, a window on brain processes, or is neuro physiology an escape hatch from uncomfortable psychological phenomena? The neuropsychiatric perspective holds that an integration of psychology and neurophysiology can occur only with adequate understanding in each sphere. As a neurophysiologic understanding of hypnosis and dissociation comes into being, we may be able to grasp the characteristic patterns of brain function that arise from particular life experiences. This is a distant but worthy goal. Dr. Spiegel, who is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, brings us a step closer to its attainment with this review of the neurophysiological correlates of hypnosis and dissociation, an area of inquiry to which he has made major contributions.

In Niedtfeld et al. (2013), for a smaller subsample of 42 BPD patients, scores on the DES predicted larger GMV in the middle temporal gyrus.
“For a smaller subsample of 42 BPD patients, scores on the DES could be included, which predicted larger GMV in the middle temporal gyrus [150•]—a region previously implicated in dissociation [83, 84].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
