• The entry into the hypnotic state is characterized by three things.
  • The first characteristic is turning down activity in the dorsal anterior singular cortex (dacc), which is part of the salient's network.
  • Turning down activity in the dacc region helps reduce distractions and prevents being pulled out of focus.
  • Hypnotizable individuals have more functional connectivity between the dacc and the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, a key region in the executive control network.
  • This coordination implies that the brain is focused on carrying out plans and disregarding other possibilities.
