The brain was an organ responsible for controlling the body's functions, as well as being the center for memory, thought, and personality. Talosians had extremely large brains, a fact attributed to their prodigious telepathic abilities.[1] An encounter with the Galactic Barrier by both the S.S. Valiant in 2069 and the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 on Stardate 1312.4 caused an area of the brain to be hyperstimulated, killing three aboard the Valiant and nine aboard the Enterprise, and causing one aboard the Valiant and two aboard the Enterprise to mutate and develop godlike powers.[2] The neural neutralizer affected brain wave patterns.[3]
On Stardate 5431.4, the Controller of Sigma Draconis VI sent the Eymorg Kara to take Spock's brain, reasoning that the Vulcan's brain would be a suitable replacement for it, as it was dying after 10,000 years.[4] Keniclius 5 sought to clone Spock nearly two years later, on Stardate 5554.4, as he respected the Vulcan's intelligence and sought to use him as the template of a proposed "master race."[5]
