The venous system is a highly-branched network of veins all over the body and brain that returns blood back to the heart for 'nutrient re-fill' after this blood has been stripped of its nutrients by body tissues. Anatomically speaking, you can trace any vein in the human body to any other vein in the human body (including a vein from your finger to your brain). However, blood does not run directly en route from any vein in any finger to the brian. Blood in the veins of your fingers (which are called your digital veins), runs from your digital veins and branches to your Ulnar and Radial veins of your arms (mainly), these two veins then branch to form your axillary vein (near your armpit). The next and last stop for blood is the superior vena cava, a large vein that dumps all of the blood that is returning from the top half of the body into the right atrium of the heart for nutrient refill.
Long story short: Anatomically..yes there is. Does blood go from your fingers to your brain? No.
I hope this provides you with your answer as well as some helpful information
