Aphonogelia

Aphonogelia is a rare neuropsychological condition with which a person cannot laugh audibly. The condition can be caused by traumatic brain injury, specifically to the right temporal lobe. There are currently no known treatment methods for this condition, although the usage of nitrous oxide has been suggested as an experimental treatment.
