No - this is why the brain can feel no pain directly. If there were nerve cells in the brain then most modern brain-surgery would be impossible. The brain has "receptors" which indicate where sensation is originating. Interestingly some types of brain damage can result in sensations getting confused - this is a medical condition known as Synesthesia. For instance some people "see" words as colours or "feel" music as a tingling sensation.
