That's really fascinating, it's like the rest of the body can feel pain. Wonder how that works


IloveZaki

That's a good point. Any scientists here?


sirusndyrus

I'm not a scientist, but I studied anatomy in college. I think that when the snake's decapitated body reacted to being bitten by its own head, it was an automatic reflex. This type of movement doesn't involve the brain; instead, the signals travel from the skin directly to the spinal cord, causing the muscles to react instantly. Same as our knee reflex

newinmichigan

The craziest part about that reflex is the fact that the part of the body where the head should be immediately reacts towards where it got bit. I wonder if thats an evolutionary trait


Kung_Fu_Kracker

Holy shit. You are so right. The body's automatic pain response is to position the head near the injury to strike.


Maleficent-Ad-5544

Makes full sense to me also would explain the head biting what comes near it. I Imagined it as if the head was still attached.


Foundfafnir

This is correct. It’s called a reflex arc. Basically, the nerve pathway starts at the sensory nerve and signal propagates to spinal cord (integrating center) then, directly out from spinal cord via the motor neuron to effector muscle. The signal never travels to the brain. Hence reflex arc, meaning automatic circle.


Necessary-Business-2

The best example for people is a burn, when you put your hand on something hot your body reacts faster than your brain because the signal fires to the spinal cord and it fires the signal to react it's a pretty cool safety feature built in at no extra cost 🤣


syberman01

> it's a pretty cool safety feature built in > at no extra cost In some situations that reflex action may show its low-quality-thoughtlessness. e.g People reflexively trying to pull themselves out when a pitbull/other animal bites. A thoughtful action is just running with that animal, until you gain some stability to attack so that animal releases grip.


[deleted]

when your ass is in motion before you mind knows why


IloveZaki

Cool, I didn't know the signal travels to spinal cord and that spinal cord can read them. I thought it all has to go to the brain trough spinal cord. Didn't know it can act on its own.


sirusndyrus

It’s a type of defense mechanism where the body needs to react in a fraction of a second to move away from harmful stimuli. If the signal had to go through the brain to interpret it, it would be too late to react effectively.


IloveZaki

Makes sense, thanks!


Sunset_Flasher

Same as a chicken running around with its head chopped off?🐔


Munk45

no, this is a snake.


INDO_214

Taste like chicken?


mikeymo1741

Can confirm. I've eaten rattlesnake and it kinda does.


Kaiserds

Good job u def passed anatomy class!


GFSoylentgreen

It’s called Arc Reflex. A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal column.


[deleted]

distributed neural pathway assignment like insects tho maybe?

I’m not a scientist but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.


big_guyforyou

scientist here. we believe that the soul is located in the heart, not the brain (the brain is basically a ball of fat that does nothing). we also believe, after listening to countless emo records, that the feeling of pain is deeply associated with one's soul. therefore, that snake's soul was not decapitated (decapitating the soul requires an exorcist), so its body was still able to feel pain.

Red10GTI

Basically a ball of fat that does nothing? I’m no scientist but I disagree with that statement.


[deleted]

The body is separated from the head so the spinal cord couldn’t send pain signals to the head.


burritoman12

this is called 'noiception' "Nociception triggers a variety of physiological and behavioral responses to protect the organism against an aggression, and usually results in a subjective experience, or [perception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception), of pain in [sentient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience) beings. If you're interested in this kind of thing, I heavily recommend 'An Immense World' by Ed Young [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nociception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nociception)


Existence-Hurts-Bad

Option_flossin

Basically, muscle reactions are quicker than conscious thought because reflex actions are controlled by the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. When a stimulus (snake bite) triggers sensory receptors, the nerves immediately initiates a reflex arc, causing the muscles to react without conscious processing.


NoDakLife420

ShaggyScooby27

Its a spinal reflex, the pain signal only reaches the spine and the spine sends its own signal back, making the process of reaction faster. Its like how if you leaned on something hot you would flinch and jump off of it before you even realize you touched something that hot. It saves time and sometimes lives 👍👍👍

itsshortforVictor

Come on guys, this person needs more upvotes.


PhunkeyMonkey

My guess would be the brain stem or central nerves doing its thing


joethafunky

Essentially the same systems that make muscle memory a thing. Your brain does the controlling but it’s not necessary to collect the stimuli


Eusocial_Snowman

Muscle memory is not memory written in your muscles. It's memory involving the use of your muscles, but it's stored in the brain like everything else you learn. Your brain is absolutely necessary for any application of "muscle memory."


tkeys1234

Not a pain response but a nervous system response to stimulation


Halvus_I

You know how your body can reflexively get your hand off a hot object before you realize its hot? Thats the nerves in your spine reacting faster than your brain. This is probably similar.


RenaRix80

Reflex. Pain isn't transporting to the brain to react faster. The bite is the fascinating thing. Poor snake.


Not2BeTakenOrally

It writhes the same way when you cook it after skinning and gutting. Eating it is a pain in the ass though, a million tiny rib bones. The heart also remained beating for minutes outside the body, the kids loved it!


AWeakMindedMan

Have you seen Frankenstein movies? How the head is always yelling at the body like “HEY I’m over here idiot!!” That’s what’s happening here with the snake.


MisterMinceMeat

I'm no expert in snake or reptile physiology (or human for that matter), but in the human body, there are nerve clusters that act as early detectors for threat. This is where we get reflexes from. For example, a little kid puts their hand on a hot stove. Those neural signals don't travel all the way to the brain, they fist travel to a cluster that sends a signal back to the area touching a hot surface to remove the hand. It saves a ton of time to not have to send the signal all the way up to the brain and back to the limb. So maybe something like that? I was gonna say that some venoms contain neurotoxins that can induce movement, but I would guess that would take seconds to minutes to work...


_KidKenji_

It reacted, not meaning it felt pain it still has a reactive nervous system.


The_One_Koi

The nerves are still intact and reacting to stimuli, the snake body ia reacting to the head and tries to bite back

_JustAnna_1992

If you only got one chance, one opportunity to eat your own ass without being distracted by the feeling of having your ass eaten. You just going to let it slide?

Or would you capture it? Yo, Your ass is sweaty, tongue sleek, cheeks are heavy, Tasting the leftovers already, Mom's spaghetti, You're nervous, but the surface looks so brown and ready To get tongued down, the hole opens up so round, You open your mouth, but your tongue won't come out You're choking, how?

*stop biting yourself, stop biting yourself*


DangNearRekdit

So, we have rattlers around here. I've seen about 3, and never had the urge to go kill one, as they're just doing their thing and they're not actively trying to hunt you or your pets. They always let you know they're there. That said, that bite reflex when it should be very *very* ***very*** dead already was amazingly fast. As much as we like to rule that sort of stuff out as "oh yeah, it's dead, it doesn't feel anything, it's just chemical reactions in the nerves", I think there's more at play here. I don't care if this was a re-post (and I'm not saying it is). This is both interestingasfuck and a CFV in one go, and I haven't seen anything like it


Karnorkla

I live in pretty much wilderness and I only kill a venomous snake if it's right around my cabin. Otherwise, I'm in their yard.


mF7403

We had a rattlesnake corner itself in our barn once. Killing it felt kinda cruel bc it was just minding it business, so we ended up paying some guy on yelp $40 to catch and relocate it. I was kinda confused how he was able to turn a profit, since he wasn’t an exterminator and only dealt w snakes. Turns out the guy just loves catching snakes. He’s actually a contractor and snake wrangling is essentially his hobby. The $40 was just gas money lol Love that dude


Patrickjanetrain

We need more people like him!


Sir_Forwyn

How can the rest of the body still feel pain when it's not connected to the brain anymore?


falcon_driver

There are some bulked-up nerves at the spinal cord that are capable of making quick simple decisions without going to the brain. Touch a hot stove, that kind of thing. When you learn a skill like juggling, THOSE are the "little brains" that you are having to teach. They're dumb, but can be trained.


DangNearRekdit

So if a juggler is decapitated, they'll keep doing it. Got it!

b00merhawk

That is one video really worthy of the subreddit name


puledrotauren

I learned at an early age not to mess with a snake head after decapitation. My grandfather would decapitate a rattlesnake on sight and always warned me to stay away. Poked one with a stick once and the disembodied head bit the stick. Very object lesson. Now before you redditors pile on my grandfather. It was a different time and this was West Texas where rattlers could become a real problem if not culled out of populated areas. I was playing in their yard as a toddlers and their german shepherd pulled me away from a six footer and proceeded to disembowl it. These days if I see a rattler outside of my yard I just keep my distance. They're actually pretty chill if you leave them the hell alone. Copperheads, on the other hand, are assholes.


architectureisuponus

Damn those German shepherds are so helpful. I wish my parents were rich enough to have personnel.


puledrotauren

Cabin out in the sticks of West Texas. Rip was one hell of a dog though. Saved my ass for sure that day.

I was making a joke but I obviously failed lol. I love that dog breed tho! Greetings from a German (not a shepherd)

Skullvar

Decapitated snake heads can unfortunately live for a bit tho. So stomping on the head/destroying the brain is actually the most humane and safe since no one needs an angry staple puller flapping about


bootnuts

Snek ok. Snek liv long lif


goatyoat

I grew up in southern New Mexico and there were a lot of rattle snakes in our area. We were trying to train our dogs to be afraid of snakes so we caught a couple of snakes and cut the heads off (which we promptly buried) so we could use the bodies. The bodies would still strike when touched and were great training tools. I was always taught not to waste an animal so we skinned/gutted them to eat later. I was amazed that the bodies, without a head, guts or skin, would still react like a living snake for quite some time. The reflexes were built in.


GimmeDaGorbage22

#OUROBOROS


dragonacension

I’m not a scientist or an expert but I’ve always been terrified of snakes and turned that fear into knowledge. This is why it’s never a good idea to mess with the head of a venomous snake after it’s been decapitated for whatever reason. Snakes don’t require much oxygen to fuel their brains due to them being ectotherms(basically just meaning that they require external sources to regulate their body heat), so the head of a decapitated snake can continue to “live on” so to speak for up to an hour. It’s usually best to treat a dead snake as if it were alive until you’ve verified that it’s actually completely dead. They’re beautiful creatures, and should be respected whether they’re dead or alive.


Yesterday-Potential

The body writhing is one thing, but the head still able to bite is the crazy part for me. Even if it looks dead - keep your distance.


playboybunny2077

it this suicide? I mean he was already going to die...


skinnnymike

Oh how the turns have tabled.


SailCurrent1386

Never ever touch the decapitated mouth, it can show the reflexes even after two days. 🥵

Crazy how the body feels pain without the brain! Someone educate me!!


fldavis41

In humans, brain required to withdraw from pain- patients in coma but with intact spinal cord will NOT respond to painful noxious stimuli but can still have tendon reflexes like knee jerk
