Deep hypnosis decreases activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.

“The first is turning down activity in the dorsal anterior singulate cortex. So the DACC is in the central front middle part of the brain as you you well know and it's it's part of what we call the salance network. Uh it's a conflict detector. So if you're you're you know uh engaged in work and you hear a loud noise that you think might be a gunshot, that's your anterior singulate cortex saying, "Hey, wait a minute. There's a potential danger over there. You better pay attention to it."”
