1)
The brain is used for thinking, by regrettably too few people, and far too seldom. The demanding answers thing is good, though. It’s what makes us human.
Seriously: the brain is the source of sentience, which isn’t just 2)
…reasoning, it’s self-awareness, so it’s what fills a soul with an identifier and qualities of character. The soul is the essence of being for a living thing; the brain contains the self, or person.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 9, 2020

Used by deities for sorting said souls, or directing them. Used by you to go on living, if you acquire a new body.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 9, 2020
