If brain has no nerve endings why are you having a headache?
Aquinosys
Its not actually your brain that's hurting when you have a headache, there's no pain receptors in the brain but there are 9 areas around your brain in your head and neck .. Which is where you feel the pain..

What is the function of a nerve ending?
At the end of a nerve, there is a synapse, which transfers the signal on to the next nerve until it reaches it's destination - ie. the brain or a muscle. Nerve endings are what we feel the world around us with. Nerve endings are in every part of your body and they are always sensing what is going on around you. They feel the chair against your bottom, the key board under your finger tips, etc.

What is the bair nerve?
I assume "bair" to be a typo, and that you actually mean "bear nerve". Bear nerve endings are raw and exposed nerve endings. Nerve endings are found in the skin, they are scattered throughout the body. The body's nerve endings pass electrical singles (cool, cold, the pain of freezing, warm, hot, the pain of being burned, itching, stinging, and the pain of being bitten, sharp, being cut or stabbed...), that are optimized for pain detection; these messages are relayed as impulses to the brain. These tiny nerve endings are microscopic in size; they form a single that is passed on to the brain; as they feed the impulse and sensation of length, intensity, location... from the body's peripheral nerves to the brain.
What is the scientific explanation of headache?
Continuous pain in the head is of two types. One is called headache and the other is known as migraine in medical terminology. Both the types of pain are caused by pressing of the nerve endings. The difference between these two types of pain is due to different factors which bring pressure on the nerve endings. Tightening of muscles in the head and neck due to some reasons bring out pressure on the sensory nerves which identify this sensation as headache. Just as some water which has remained in elastic tube after the tap is turned off trickles out when the tube is pressed, the nerve endings also keep on sending a trickle of signals of unpleasant sensation to the brain. Therefore, as long as the nerves remain pressed headache does not stop.
