(informal) An intelligent person.

Example: ‘She was a total brain.’;

(plurale tantum) A person who provides the intelligence required for something.

Example: ‘He is the brains behind the scheme.’;

To strike (someone) on the head.

To destroy; to put an end to.

To conceive in the mind; to understand.

The whitish mass of soft matter (the center of the nervous system, and the seat of consciousness and volition) which is inclosed in the cartilaginous or bony cranium of vertebrate animals. It is simply the anterior termination of the spinal cord, and is developed from three embryonic vesicles, whose cavities are connected with the central canal of the cord; the cavities of the vesicles become the central cavities, or ventricles, and the walls thicken unequally and become the three segments, the fore-, mid-, and hind-brain.

The anterior or cephalic ganglion in insects and other invertebrates.

The organ or seat of intellect; hence, the understanding; as, use your brains.

The affections; fancy; imagination.

the controlling electronic mechanism for a robot, guided missile, computer, or other device exhibiting some degree of self-regulation.

To dash out the brains of; to kill by beating out the brains.

Example: ‘There thou mayst brain him.’; ‘It was the swift celerity of the death . . . That brained my purpose.’;

A brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. It is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision.

(pathology) A neuronal migration disorder, a developmental anomaly of the brain characterized by development of numerous small convolutions (microgyri), causing mental retardation.

Micropolygyria, is a neuronal migration disorder, a developmental anomaly of the brain characterized by development of numerous small convolutions (microgyri), causing intellectual disability and/or other neurological disorders. It is present in a number of specific neurological diseases, notably multiple sclerosis and Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, a specific disease cause by mutation in the Fukutin gene (FKTN).
