“…Resting state analyses also suggest differences between highs and lows involving baseline ACC activity and changes in connectivity between this region and attentional network with the default mode network while performing hypnosis (McGeown et al 2009;Deeley et al 2012;Hoeft et al 2012), which further supports a role for attentional abilities in individual sensitivity to hypnosis. In addition, highly hypnotizable subjects show different activations in cortical and subcortical relays of motor pathways, including the thalamus, when they perform a motor task under hypnosis, suggesting some gating process that may regulate motor output and explain the subjective experience of involuntariness in the hypnotic state (Halligan et al 2000;Blakemore et al 2003;Cojan et al 2009;Deeley et al 2013;Muller et al 2013). However, these studies focused on brain activity patterns during hypnosis, but it remains unclear how hypnotic susceptibility affects the efficiency of brain networks mediating cognitive control outside hypnosis.…”

“…The main function of the putamen is thought to be the control of a wide range of motor skills (Kreitzer and Malenka, 2008; Marchand et al, 2008). Motor imagery, compared with rest, was related to activation in the left medial frontal areas, the prefrontal and frontal areas, the putamen and the inferior parietal areas(Müller et al, 2013). The extended MNS includes both cortical and subcortical areas (such as the putamen), and Bonini proposed that both cortical and subcortical mechanisms exist to decouple mirror neuron activity from the motor output to render it exploitable for higher‐order perceptual, cognitive, and even social functions (Bonini, 2016).…”

Although the mirror neuron system (MNS) has been extensively studied in monkeys and adult humans, very little is known about its development. Previous studies suggest that the MNS is present by infancy and that the brain and MNS-related cognitive abilities (such as language, empathy, and imitation learning) continue to develop after childhood. In humans, the PFt area of the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) seems to particularly correlate with the functional properties of the PF area in primates, which contains mirror neurons. However, little is known about the functional connectivity (FC) of the PFt area with other brain areas and whether these networks change over time. Here, we investigated the FC development of the PFt area-based network in 59 healthy subjects aged 7-26 years at resting-state to study brain development from late childhood through adolescence to early adulthood. The bilateral PFt showed similar core FC networks, which included the frontal lobe, the cingulate gyri, the insula, the somatosensory cortex, the precuneus, the superior and inferior parietal lobules, the temporal lobe, and the cerebellum posterior lobes. Furthermore, the FC between the left PFt and the left IPL exhibited a significantly positive correlation with age, and the FC between the left PFt and the right postcentral gyrus exhibited a significantly negative correlation with age. In addition, the FC between the right PFt and the right putamen exhibited a significantly negative correlation with age. Our findings suggest that the PFt area-based network develops and is reorganized with age.

Neural Plasticity

Chronic pain is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition that is frequently associated with multiple comorbid psychiatric conditions and functional, biochemical, and anatomical alterations in various brain centers. Due to its widespread and diverse manifestations, chronic pain is often resistant to classical pharmacological treatment paradigms, prompting the search for alternative treatment approaches that are safe and efficacious. The current review will focus on the following themes: attentional and cognitive interventions, the role of global environmental factors, and the effects of exercise and physical rehabilitation in both chronic pain patients and preclinical pain models. The manuscript will discuss not only the analgesic efficacy of these therapies, but also their ability to reverse pain-related brain neuroplasticity. Finally, we will discuss the potential mechanisms of action for each of the interventions.
