If you poke a stick into your brain would it hurt?
No. If the brain is already exposed, it would have no sensation. But, if you poke a stick through your skull, the pain would be extreme, as the stick would pass through the overlying skin, multiple nerve endings in the epidermis and dermis, as well as in the bony skull, itsefl, and also on the inside of the skull, before reaching the cerebrum.
