A Brain is an organ in Pathologic 2. It can be harvested from healthy and infected corpses by the Haruspex via autopsy. As of Day 4, Brains can be combined with a Tincture within the Brewery to create Painkillers. It can be sold to Var, traded to Worms, and traded to the Dead Item Shop.

While in autopsy, Brains have the lowest success rate, and cause the greatest loss in durability to harvesting tools used (such as Scalpels and Lancets).

If consumed by the player character, Painkillers made with brains lower exhaustion.

A Half Brain is an unused item in Pathologic 2 only accessible by utilizing the Console Commands to place it in the player's inventory. It has no functional use, though it is likely it would be used in medicinal brewing and trade with the Dead Item Shop.

A Half Brain can be found in a demo build from PAX West 2017 under the name Damaged Brain. In the section that previews the surgery mechanics, the player is locked in a room in an infected house and must perform an autopsy on a corpse in the room using the Trepanner in order to find a Lockpick in his head, as well as the damaged half brain, to be able to leave the room to explore the rest of the house.
