In this episode of Brain Explorers, we dive into the fascinating question: Can the brain feel pain? Pain is our body’s warning system, but surprisingly, the brain itself doesn’t feel pain because it has no pain receptors. While the brain processes pain signals from other parts of the body, it remains pain-free—even during brain surgery!We also explore common questions, like why headaches hurt (hint: it’s from muscles and nerves around the brain) and why the brain doesn’t have pain receptors (so it can focus on controlling the body). Plus, we share a fun fact: the brain uses 20% of the body’s energy daily, even though it’s only 2% of our weight!Tune in to learn more about your amazing, pain-free brain!
