outward appearance?  I do not believe it does anything beyond this, 
based on the fact that Harry and Ron do not get Crabbe and Goyle's 
brains when they transform themselves (and, the fur on the face 
notwithstanding, Hermione doesn't get the brain of a cat).  If they 
were to have some "telepathic" link with Malfoy's sidekicks, they 
could have found the Slytherin common room with no problem.  Instead, 
they almost ran out of time wandering around the dungeons.

in reply: 
I didn't mean to imply that Polyjuice would cause someone to have 
the brain of whomever or whatever they are impersonating. I meant 
that if you spoke in the voice of the person you are 
impersonating...if you appeared to sound as well as look like them, 
then that would perhaps hold true in the case of mental suggestion as 
well as audible speech.
