Abstract

As a universal linguistic phenomenon, humor has gradually become an interdisciplinary research topic. Domestic and international scholars have expanded the study of humor, yet there is a paucity of evaluations on the brain mechanisms underlying humor perception. This paper primarily introduces the concept of humor, the major theoretical frameworks of humor, and the key findings from domestic and international research on the neural mechanisms of humor. Furthermore, this paper synthesizes the existing issues in humor research in order to provide clues and guidance for future investigations of humor.
