The idea that brains have anything to do with thinking is just propaganda from liberal-bias neuroscience and the helmet industry. Also the whole concept of "brain damage" or any physical thing influencing a person's mind - is a denial of the Biblical truth that we have an IMMORTAL SOUL.

The Bible mentions a number of key
human organs, such as the heart, blood, bowels, liver, and kidneys,
but never mentions...the brain.
Of course, the Bible speaks of the "head." It is a place
to be anointed and crowned and where the priests wore their miters
(turbans)....
The ancients (including the Hebrews) all agreed that one such
organ, the primary one, in fact, was the heart. They used the
word _heart_ repeatedly, attaching enormous _emotional
_ and _moral_ significance to its behavior. The Bible
emphasizes how the _heart_ "deviseth a man's way,"
"inspires speech" "believes," "is joyful,"
"is deceitful," "is good" (Prov. 16:9, Mt. 12: 34, Rom. 10:10, 1 Chron. 16:10, Jer. 17:9, Lk. 6:45)
Besides the heart, the Bible also focuses
(to a lesser extent) on the emotional and moral significance of
the bowels and kidneys. Here are some of the verses in the King
James Bible in which the Greek and Hebrew terms for bowels and
kidneys are literally translated:
My bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon
him, saith the Lord -Jer. 31:20
Be ye straitened [restrained] in your own bowels -2 Cor. 6:12
I long after you in the bowels [affection] of Christ (Philip. 1:8).
(T)he bowels of the saints are refreshed.... ®efresh my bowels
in the Lord -Philemon 7:20
(S)hutteth up his bowels of compassion -1 John 3:17
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins [Latin,
renes, which means kidneys, a literal translation of the Hebrew] -Ps. 73:21
My reins [kidneys] also instruct me in the night seasons -Ps.
16:7).
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins [kidneys]
-Ps. 7:9
Yea, my reins [kidneys] shall rejoice when my lips speak right
things -Prov. 23:16).
I am He [God] which searcheth the reins [kidneys] and hearts -Rev. 2:23).
