Pain and the Brain

We could all do without the pain of bumping our head or stubbing a toe. While unpleasant, pain exists for a reason: it directs our attention to an injury so we can take care of it and prevent further damage. Without pain, we might walk around with life-threatening injuries without even knowing it. Learn more about pain in this video from the 2016 Brain Awareness Video Contest.
