The brain has no nerve endings and cant feel pain.

The human brain interprets signals from the nervous system and tells the body that it is "pain." The brain itself, however, has no nerves to "feel" pain it itself. If you are asking, like in open brain surgery if you touch the brain does it feel pain from it, then that answer would be no. The brain itself has no pain receptors.

I've been told that there are no nerve endings in the brain, which is why when people have brain surgery they only need a local - they keep them conscious so they can periodically make sure they can still wiggle their fingers & toes & remember their mother's maiden name etc.

You can literally open the skull and expose the brain; cut a section out while you are still conscious, and wouldnt feel a thing...The brain is the only organ with out nerve endings..

well, one little add-on, it may not feel pain, but if you were to say you felt nothing from it getting cut or touched, you may feel something non physical like an emotion or changed senses

I thought pains in any part of the body somehow was felt through the brain :S I was very surprised when i read the other intersting answers, good question!

Pain signals are interpreted by your brain, but the brain can't send itself those signals - it doesn't have the nerves to do so.

No, it can't. Your brain tells you when other parts of your body hurt, but it can't actually feel pain. There are no pain sensors in the brain tissue itself. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/3d/ http://biology.about.com/library/organs/brain/blbrain.htm http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pain/PN00017

No. The body takes in sensory information and the brain interprets it as pain in the body part.
