The response most people would feel amused and laughed when tickled. How come? Apparently there are parts of the brain that activates certain areas so as to make someone laugh when tickled.
In one study, about 30 men and women in their 20s involved to be tickled by his feet. The brain of the respondents are then scanned by fMRI by researchers. Separately, respondents were also asked to laugh voluntarily without any stimulus in the form of tingling or a particular joke. Their brains were then scanned again.
From there it was found that due to tickle and laugh laugh because voluntary activated by the brain in the section called rolandic operculum. Location sensor located in the motor cortex that involves the movement of the face. Both forms of laughter is also associated with activity in the brain that involve emotional reactions, such as crying.
Nevertheless, just laugh due only tickled that activate the hypothalamus - the part of the brain that is involved in a variety of regulatory functions, including reaction organ. Laughter tickled result also activate parts of the brain that anticipates the pain. So when tickled, somebody will automatically give defensive reaction or defensiveness.
The same result as if tickled laugh like laughing because a humor. But laughing because a more humor involving brain function in the higher part called the nucleus accumbens - a part of the brain that functions as the center of the fun. While laughing result tickled not touch the part.
As reported by My Health News Daily, detail the 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.
