which body part can't feel pain

The brain itself can’t feel pain because it has no pain receptors. Headaches usually come from surrounding tissues like the meninges, blood vessels, or muscles, not from the brain tissue itself.

A few related examples:

• The brain can be touched or operated on without directly causing pain sensation in the brain tissue.

• Some other body structures also have little or no pain sensitivity, but the brain is the common answer to this question.

One important nuance: people with certain medical conditions can have reduced pain sensation throughout the body , which is different from the brain itself not feeling pain.
