Separately, respondents were also asked to voluntarily laugh without any stimulation such as tickling or a certain joke. Their brains were then scanned again.

Laughter as a result of being tickled as a laugh because the humor. However laugh because humor involves a function in part of the brain called the nucleus accumbens higher - the part of the brain that functions as the center of the fun. While due tickled laugh not touch the part.As quoted from My Health News Daily, detailed results of such research was reported in the journal Cerebral Cortex. Researchers from the University of Greifswald in Germany and the University of Fribourg and the University of Basel in Switzerland is the experts who worked on the study.
