Nope !!
brain is not muscle..Muscles are fibrous tissues for production of movement or stablization of position plus a an type of muscles are there for pumping blood in the body , brain does not stand in any of this catogary but you can say its control system for those muscles....its basically made of totally different cells called neurons......and its working is totally different from muscles cells.these are fast message transporting cells ! So no my brain is not a muscle its a totally different control organ !

Your brain is primarily made up of brain cells, which greatly differ from muscle cells. The brain is an organ, just like your skin, or liver but it is not a muscle. Muscles have the structure to be able to use lots of the body's stored energy to produce work and absorb shock/stress. The brain doesn't really produce the same kind of "work" as muscles. It interprets the information our senses bring, and sends signals to other parts of our body to produce a physical reaction to them.

Most peoples brains aren't muscles but neurons and other tissue. However I do have brain power.LOL

No.
Most brains exhibit a substantial distinction between gray matter and white matter. Gray matter consists of the cell bodies of the neurons, while white matter consists of the fibers (axons) which connect neurons. The axons are surrounded by a fatty insulating sheath called myelin (oligodendroglia cells), giving the white matter its distinctive color. The outer layer of the brain is gray matter called cerebral cortex. Deep in the brain, compartments of white matter (fasciculi, fiber tracts), gray matter (nuclei) and spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid (ventricles) are found

The brain is an organ.

we rack our brains do brain exercises and have brain tonics,
we have ideas from our brains that can move mountains and break barriers.
Yet the brain is not classified as a muscle!!!

No it's a brain. An organ.

Mine isn't but I've met people in whom I wonder....
No, neural tissues and muscle tissue are wildly different. Just look at the structure of a myofibril.
