Brain
The Brain is the last of the six organs you can work with. It stays unknown on the Autopsy Table until Autopsy, Master (10 red, 30 green, 10 blue), which comes after Embalming I. Removing one needs Anatomy 8 at quality 1, 10 at quality 2 and 13 at quality 3 (see Corpses and organs).
Most first-tier corpses carry a brain with one white skull; two kinds have one with a red skull instead, and two a quality-2 brain with two white skulls. From the third tier on, the red-skull brain is the most common kind.

Notes
- Autopsy, Master also gives the Autopsy Table II and the Master Surgeon’s Kit, which adds Anatomy on your toolbar.
- Any brain can become quality 3 at the Formulation Bench with a white-skull or red-skull Organ Improver (white, red), after Practical Potions, at Anatomy 7. Quality-3 brains are alchemy ingredients with three blue runes.
- Studying one costs 3 Science and gives 30 blue.
