Jaaha, asiaa piti tutkia, ja sama ikivanha käännökukkanenhan se siellä taas.... Kyse onkin animaatioista (cartoons):
Wanna get high without breaking the law? Crack up with humor.
A research team at Stanford University in California found that MRIs taken of the brains of 16 volunteers revealed that looking at amusing cartoons stimulates the same circuits of the brain as cocaine, money or a pretty face.
According to the findings, one region of the brain in particular - the nucleas accumbens - lit up after the subjects were shown a hilarious cartoon, but remained fairly listless after they viewed a mediocre one.
Ihmetyttikin, kun puhuttiin katselemisesta eikä lukemisesta.
