Hi,
Any pain or disappointment is transformed into growth and understanding.
There are different types of brain surgeries and for some you have to remain conscious and for others you have to be asleep. No the brain does not experience pain, but there are so many nerves in the brain that may be affected by head injuries or surgery.
