The intellect is what is manifested, the by-product, of the physical brain being acted upon by our reality that some call soul. Our reality is that entity who wills to sense and experience the physical world through the various organs, i.e., sees through our body's eyes, hears through its ears, tastes with its mouth, thinks with its brain. By analogy, compare intellect with the light that is manifested when the lamp is plugged into the source of electricity. The lamp is the body, the electricity is the human reality, and the light is the intellect.

Intellect is the result of the brain. It's how you think; just as the mind is your consciosness and thus a different, though not at all unrelated thing from your brain.

The dictionary gives a very good answer. (Spiritually) The power of the mind to grasp ideas and relations, and to exercise dispassionate reason and rational judgement. reason. (from human view) A mind or intelligence. God imparted to me that "The mind is not for thinking, the mind is for receiving thought." God is the true thinker and the only thinker and we have within are being,through unity with God in unconditional love ,access to all the collective knowledge and experience from all ages, past, present and future.

The "intellect" is a concept referring to one's unique neural electrical and electromagnetic "files" of memory and one's unique set of neural pathways along which they travel and associate with each other.

It's more the way you use your brain to your advantage than your brain itself.
