Electric current stimulates laughter

Article Abstract:

Speech and laughter are unique to humans but little is known about the brain mechanisms of laughter. It has been found that electrical stimulation of the anterior section of the human supplementary motor area (SMA) can induce laughter. Laughter duration and intensity increased with the level of stimulation current. It is proposed that the anterior section of the SMA is involved in further development of humans to adapt to the specialized functions of speech, laughter and manual dexterity.
