Dissoziation ist ein Prozess der Desintegration des Bewusstseins, der Identität, des Gedächtnisses und der Wahrnehmung, der vermutlich durch vielfältige neuronale und physiologische Anpassungen charakterisiert ist. Aber was passiert eigentlich genau, wenn sich die Wahrnehmung plötzlich verändert, die Zeit sehr langsam dahinfließt oder Schmerzen kaum noch wahrgenommen werden? Im Folgenden werden die bisherigen Erkenntnisse zu strukturellen und funktionellen Veränderungen zusammengefasst.
