Weak with laughter.

S Overeem, G J Lammers, J G van Dijk.   

Abstract

We found a marked reduction of H-reflex amplitude during laughter, suggesting that motor inhibition may underlie the feeling of being "weak with laughter". This effect may have a role in cataplexy, which is preferentially elicited by laughter.
