Resumen
El humor es una importante actividad cognitiva capaz de producir efectos positivos a nivel psicológico y fisiológico. Por ello, numerosos estudios se han centrado en la localización neuroanatómica del mismo. En el presente Trabajo Fin de Grado se lleva a cabo una revisión de las investigaciones acerca de las bases neuroanatómicas del humor a través de una búsqueda en las bases de datos: PsycInfo, PubMed, PsycArticles y Scopus. La búsqueda proporcionó un resultado de 15 artículos que mostraron que la implicación del córtex prefrontal, el giro frontal inferior y la unión temporo-parietal en la percepción del humor eran realmente importantes en la integración de información del proceso de comprensión-resolución del humor. Por otro lado, las áreas relacionadas con la sensación de recompensa y la experimentación de humor que se apreciaron fueron la corteza prefrontal ventro-medial, el giro parahipocampal y la amígdala.
