Can the brain feel itself?

The brain itself does not feel pain because there are no nociceptors located in brain tissue itself. This feature explains why neurosurgeons can operate on brain tissue without causing a patient discomfort, and, in some cases, can even perform surgery while the patient is awake.

What brain feels like?

It turns out that the human brain is very fragile. It has a consistency somewhat like jello: soft and squishy. Without preservation and chemical hardening you couldn’t pick a brain up.

Why don’t we have pain receptors in the brain?

The brain doesn’t have nociceptors. Maybe we evolved with no nociceptors in the brain because the brain doesn’t need to directly feel a threat of damage to it. Other structures in our body do that instead. Even though the brain doesn’t have nociceptors, it’s still protected from damage.

Is brain soft or hard?

In reality, they’re basically just soft blobs of fat, easily deformed by the touch of a finger. Brains are so soft to the touch that, in order to stay safe, your brain actually floats inside your skull in a sea of cerebrospinal fluid, separated from contact with the bone.
