The brain itself cannot feel pain. While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. That does not mean your head ca not hurt. The brain is surrounded by loads of tissues, nerves and blood vessels that are plenty receptive to pain and can give you a pounding headache.

Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream. While this may be true, do not take it as a sign you are mentally lacking if you can not recall your dreams. Most of us do not remember many of our dreams and the average length of most dreams is only 2-3 seconds-barely long enough to register.

Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream. The brain only makes up about 2% of our body mass, yet consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body, making it extremely susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation. So breathe deep to keep your brain happy and swimming in oxygenated cells.
