Can Someone Remove Their Own Brain?

How far do you think a person could get before they collapse while trying to remove their own brain? For example, let's say that someone has a really high tolerance for pain, so that it doesn't deter them from inflicting damage to themselves. This person uses a saw blade to cut off the top of their scalp, thus exposing their brain. At this point, they reach into their opened skull and begin pulling on their brain. Do you think they'd be able to pull it out before collapsing? Essentially, at what point will their brain stop sending the necessary signals to their arms, causing them to stop pulling? Do you think such a person would be able to yank their brain out with one strong tug before they collapse?

Nope. I was working on some homework and ran into some trouble. I got to a point where I said (sarcastically) to myself I feel like yanking my brain out of my skull. Then I began wondering if it were actually possible to do that.

If someone actually tries it, they'd be nothing to remove.

Ehh...probably the moment they try to remove it :P..

Like the brown note? Or you mean like the Galvani experiments?

Everyone makes sarcastic suicidal remarkswhen they're in a tough situation.

TC the way you state the situation (cut the scalps etc.) sounds very painful. Eek!

Anyways, once you try to pull the brain up (imagine), human will definitely and instantly collapse. I could be wrong, though.

I bet the Nameless One could do it, he seems to be 'into' that sort of stuff. :P

What is this brown notethat you guys are speaking about?

[QUOTE="Tweetie-Pot"] Actually there is no brown note. Mythbusters proved thatBluRayHiDef

I can't really think of a better response :P

Probably as far as making an incision in their head.

You know, I tried it once. I succeeded. But I couldn't insert it back anymore because I was too dumb to do it...and my brains started rotting.
Afterwards I woke up from this horrible dream. Only to resume neuroscience lectures.

You would have to cut through the temple to make a gap wide enough to remove the brain. And when the temple is damaged, you die. So, no.

BUT, anyone stupid enough to do that would have a tiny brain, and so: They could make a narrow hole in their head exposing the brain without cutting the temple. But the amount od blood lost would be insane, and the moment you touch the brain even the slightest bit you would get concusion REAL freaking bad. And you would die before you could manage to yank it out.

There are surgical procedures which make it possible to expose the brain without causing death.

ray needs to start pulling

^^That is extremely creepy.

Do you think such a person would be able to yank their brain out with one strong tug before they collapse?

Look up anatomy...once you damage the spinal cord, you're inducing paralysis and death, as the other parts of the brain controlling heart and lungs get no signals to them.

You would pass out before you could even get to your brain. Even if you managed to touch yourbrain, I think the pain of touching it or tugging it would be so bad you would pass out regardless.

The easy part was getting the brain out. The hard part was getting the brain out.

Cutting the top of your skull off and attempting to remove your brain does not involve the spinal cord.

This doesn't mean anything. Damaging the brain itself does not cause damage to the spine. If I stabbed someone in their prefrontal cortex, I would cause absolutely no damage to the spine. None what so ever.

You won't feel anything, but you'll experience changes in your cognition, motor skills, and your perception via your senses.
