Mind Control does indexing and isn't necessarily about the brain organ, it belongs in the floatbox and not the index proper.


To clarify, the tropes listed below are more about the organ itself, rather than the mind it contains or using "brains" as a term for intelligence, though there is some overlap. For tropes about those other aspects of the brain, see the indexes listed to the right, below the picture of the appropriately-named laboratory mouse.

[[ObligatoryJoke Any questions?]] If so, good. Asking questions is how brains grow.

Brains are one of the most important parts of the body, if not the most important. Brains are where all thoughts, all memories, all personality traits, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers all psychic powers]] and all sensations are stored. Your brain is what makes you you.

But this isn't necessarily about you, this is about your brain.
