Brain tingles

Brain tingles, often called "brain zaps" or "head orgasms," are sensations characterized by a sudden, pleasurable, tingling feeling that can occur in the head or scalp. They are typically brief and can happen spontaneously or in response to certain stimuli like music, touch, or emotional experiences. While usually harmless, they are sometimes associated with discontinuing medications like antidepressants. The sensation is thought to result from neural activity changes or sensory nerve responses. Overall, brain tingles are a common and benign experience, often linked to heightened sensory awareness or neurological responses.
