Your Brain Can’t Feel Pain

The organ that processes pain has no pain receptors at all. That’s why brain surgery can be performed

while a patient is awake. When you get a headache, the pain isn’t coming from your brain.

It comes from blood vessels, muscles, and nerves around it.

Your brain understands pain, analyzes pain, and reacts to pain —

but it will never experience it itself. The thing that controls your entire body can never feel pain

once in its existence.
