Summary:
There are many different parts of the brain, out of which, the amygdala and the hippocampus are responsible for fear and anxiety. When you get tickled these areas of the brain get stimulated and a tiny amount of dopamine is released. As a result, you feel less fear. Although, it is still a part that stimulates fear and anxiety. While this fear and anxiety doesn't come out like it usually does. It finds its way out in the form of us assuming defensive position when we realize someone is going to tickle us.

When it comes to tickling, English naturalist, geologist and biologist Charles Darwin stated that it was like a "physical joke". Why did he think so? Well, because of our reactions. As we mentioned earlier, when we are being tickled we often burst into laughter. Although, researchers have concluded that tickling isn't really a joke. In fact, although we may appear to be laughing, we may internally want the other person to stop.

In a study that was conducted in 2005, it was found that while they reacted with laughter to both stand-up comedy and tickling, the brain responses were different. While watching stand-up comedy, the part of the brain associated with happiness was stimulated. So it could be concluded that they were genuinely happy. When it came to tickling, we have already told you which part of the brain it stimulates.

That must mean tickling is really a horrible thing, right? Well, no not really.

Please watch the video until the very end to find out how.
