Why Your Brain Feels No Pain

Did you know your brain feels no pain? It sounds impossible, but it’s true—your brain has no pain

receptors at all. Even though it controls how you experience pain everywhere in your body,

the brain itself cannot feel it. That’s why doctors can perform brain surgery while a

patient is awake, asking them questions and testing movements without causing pain.

When you get a headache, the pain actually comes from blood vessels, nerves,

and muscles around the brain, not from the brain itself. Pretty mind-blowing,

right? 🧠
