  • The Psychobiology of Humor and Laughter
    ch006-P372564.qxd 15/8/06 10:02 AM Page 153 CHAPTER 6 The Psychobiology of Humor and Laughter Like all psychological phenomena, humor is based on a large number of complex biological processes taking place in the brain and nervous system. To experience humor, an individual must first perceive playful incongruity in a stimulus event. This perceptual process draws on systems located in many regions of the cerebral cortex involved in visual and auditory perception, lan- guage comprehension, social cognition, logical reasoning, and so forth. When humor is perceived, these cognitive processes stimulate emotional systems associated with positive feelings of mirth and amusement, involving areas in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system. These emotion systems also release a cocktail of biochemical mole- cules, producing further changes in the brain and throughout the body via the auto- nomic nervous system and endocrine system. In addition, the activation of mirthful emotion typically triggers the expressive responses of smiling and laughter, which involve the brainstem and its connections to the forebrain, as well as nerves leading to muscles in the face, larynx, and respiratory system. The investigation of these sorts of biological processes in humor lies within the domain of biological psychology (also known as psychobiology or physiological psy- chology), the branch of the discipline that studies the relation between behavior and the body, particularly the brain. Biological psychology is part of a broader field of study known as neuroscience, which also includes disciplines such as neurophysi- ology, neuroanatomy, and brain biochemistry. Although the study of humor and laughter has not been a major focus in biological psychology, there has been a small 153 ch006-P372564.qxd 15/8/06 10:02 AM Page 154 154 6 ᭿ THE PSYCHOBIOLOGY OF HUMOR AND LAUGHTER but steady output of research on this topic over the years.
