While it's true that the brain itself doesn't have pain receptors, it's the central processing unit for pain signals. Headaches are caused by pain receptors in tissues surrounding the brain, such as blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. These receptors send signals to the brain, which then interprets them as pain.
- The brain does not feel pain directly. It receives and interprets pain signals from other parts of the body.
- Headaches are caused by pain signals from surrounding tissues. This includes muscles in the face, neck, and scalp, as well as blood vessels within the head.
- Factors like stress, tension, and changes in blood flow can trigger headaches.
Although the brain doesn't feel pain directly, it's the organ responsible for perceiving and responding to pain signals.
