See Rosemary Kennedy's brain lobotomy (she was the sister of President John F. Kennedy). She was awake and speaking during her brain operation, so doctor could know if he was messing with any important area. "When she began to become incoherent, they stopped."
But of course it was too late. She became mentally impaired for the rest of her life. She was lobotomized because her father though it would improve her teenager behavior problems.
The brain itself doesn't have Nociceptors (pain sensory neurons), so there is no pain below the skin and meninges area.

- saiya-jin 9y agoWhat a horrible story... and horrible family. Once they fked up her completely for rest of her life (because she had mood swings??), they kept ignoring her just to not cause embarrassment to family. Heck, maybe he was actually relieved that she won't cause any troubles to their political careers. And these people get to rule the strongest country in the world, and are actually regarded as one of the best in the office, ever. I hope if this would happen these days her father would be jailed for life (I know they don't perform them anymore, just hoping that law matured enough).
