31. Your Brain Has A Pain Problem
While this list is mostly about some amazing things organs do that you may not know about, we should also mention something they don’t do. Your brain is quite unique compared to the rest of the body. While you can feel pain all over your body for a variety of issues, the body was only able to feel this because the brain sent a signal to it to feel the pain.
However, the brain itself cannot actually feel pain. Think of it as your home versus the power company. While a reaction to not paying your power bill is the power company shutting off your power, what happens if the power company’s power source goes out? There is no true reaction, outside fixing the issue. This is similar to your brain, in that, your brain cannot actually develop a pain response for itself.
