The innermost part of the brain is complete, with a visual cortex and autonomic breathing mechanism appropriate for a tadpole type creature, but larger. It is not hooked into the conscious mind, but otherwise blind people can frequently “see” with the visual cortex. (They know something is there and avoid hitting it, without being able to describe it, for example.) If the breathing section of this brain gets activated, it breaths in a hiccup. There is no cure. You have to somehow override it. We’ve all done it at one time or another.

A spoonful of peanut butter or a spoonful of sugar work great.

Get a mouthful of water, plug your ears, swallow slowly and hold your breath as long as you can.

When I was a kid, I knew of a man who had jumped about 100 feet from a bridge after his wife left him for another man. He survived the jump with the help of a passerby in a boat, but last I knew, he’d had hiccups for two months straight.
