“Laughter favors the prefrontal cortex and hippocampi over threat-driven amygdala for enhanced diversity in declarative memory retrieval, and may thus broaden the range of available coping behaviors, beginning a self-reinforcing spiral of positive emotion, broadened cognition, and discovered positive meaning, e.g. enhanced shelter security.” Sebastian Gendry
