Why Can’t You Tickle Yourself
Have you ever thought about why people are ticklish(怕痒的)?According to scientists, ticklishness is a defense mechanism humans develop against bugs, spiders, and other critters that may be touching our skin. Feeling ticklish is our built-in response to predators or threats, and combines the sensations of touch and pain.
The part of the brain that is associated with tickling is the cerebellum(小脑). It monitors our movements, 53 54
ignores movements not perceived as a threat. For example, we do not notice our vocal chords(声带) (move) when we speak, but we
