brain
Let an agent explain brain anatomy and function, route brain emergencies such as stroke and head injury to emergency care, support brain health information without diagnosis, and separate the culinary sense.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain brain anatomy and function, route brain emergencies such as stroke and head injury to emergency care, support brain health information without diagnosis, and separate the culinary sense.
The organ of the central nervous system in vertebrates and many invertebrates that controls perception, movement, thought and bodily functions, located in the head and made of neurons and glial cells; in humans it includes the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem, and the word is also used for animal brains as food.
What it is for: Controlling the body and mind.
It can be explain brain structures and functions; recognise stroke and head injury warning signs and route to emergency care; describe brain health and research; separate anatomical and culinary senses.
