Brain

The brain is the internal organ which controls all the bodily functions of a body, either consciously or unconsciously.

Overview

Goa'uld symbiotes will burrow into the brain, taking control of the host. (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "The Enemy Within")

Humans use only five to ten percent of their brain power. But some Ancient technology can increase this allowing the brain supernatural abilities and/or Ascension.

The Ancients' brains (and that of Adria) were much more evolved than baseline humans, and portions of the brain had maximized synaptic activity, allowing them increased intelligence and other natural abilities, as well as mental abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy and healing. The Priors of the Ori are similarly advanced, although not to the same extent, mainly relying on their staffs for anything more than basic telekinesis. (SG1: "Frozen", "Avalon, Part 2", "Origin", "Prototype")

When a human is evolving toward Ascension, the brain's higher functions increase, but the assistance of technology can often reduce the lower brain functions required for life, giving a choice between Ascension or death. (SGA: "Tao of Rodney")

The Asgard brain is significantly more advanced than humans, but less that the Ancients as they possess no special abilities. (SG1: "Fragile Balance")

A sarcophagus is incapable of healing major brain damage. Repeated uses of the device can also affect the mental stability of the user, which is why the Tok'ra do not employ it. (SG1: "Death Knell", "The Tok'ra, Part 1", "The Tok'ra, Part 2")
