Abstract
Laughter is not usually included in the curriculum of medical schools, therefore it is often neglected by physicians. Laughter is a reflex located in the reticular system of the hindbrain. Rich connections explain its complexity. Laughter appears very early in life and each individual has a very characteristic and stable laughing style. Laughter and speech differentiate human beings from the animal kingdom. Laughter is a unique communication media, common to all human societies speaking different languages. Laughter has a mood elevating and relaxing effect. Laughter dysfunction consists of inappropriate response to the meaning or to the stimulus intensity. In the present study, laughter's dysfunction and disorders are presented. The purpose of this study was to extricate laughter from the diffuse obscurity of information into a new area of interest for scientific research.
