The brain itself cannot feel pain.22.12.12

The brain itself cannot
feel pain.

While the brain
might be the pain center
when you cut your finger
or burn yourself, the brain
itself does not have pain
receptors and cannot feel
pain. That doesn’t mean
your head can’t hurt. The
brain is surrounded by
loads of tissues, nerves
and blood vessels that are
plenty receptive to pain
and can give you a
pounding headache.
