Fingertips To Hair Follicles: Why 'Touch' Triggers Pleasure And Pain

In his latest book, neuroscientist David Linden explains the science of touch. He tells Fresh Air how pain protects, why fingertips are so sensitive and why you can’t read Braille with your genitals.

Our interview with David Linden is free on iTunes. But we didn’t talk just about his book. We dove into the newest research David and his lab are working on and the personal side of being a neuroscientist.
