Laughter and Happiness... Sat. August 19,2011

Time is the best teacher, although it kills the students.

When we look closely at the brain the areas that are involved in laughter are the Limbic System. It is central, neither right nor left, they are a network of structures located beneath your cerebral cortex and these particular structures control some behaviors that are essential to motivation and emotional behavior.

The hypothalamus is a part of the Limbic System that is a major contributor to the production of loud, uncontrollable laughter.

The hypothalamus regulates important functions like blood pressure, pituitary gland regulation, hydration, metabolism, sleep cycles, testicular function and ovarian, your energy, body temperature, mood and behavior, this list goes on the hypothalamus is really the brain of the brain. It is your automatic or subconscious nervous system. This is the part of the brain that takes everything in and leaves you with a memory...

When you are out of balance in the central hemisphere it can cause a lake of motivation, depression.

Laughter and success, laughter and happiness, laughter and good old laughter spark something in each one of us that is indescribable. From a simple smile to a roaring boisterous laugh... something begins to change shields are let down, connections are made, moments experienced now. The average human laughs about 17 times a day and a healthy well taken care of child laughs about 400 times a day...
