the brain, just like the other muscles in your body, grows and becomes stronger the more you use it. using a specific function of the brain will increase blood flow to that part of the brain in order to provide energy (just like a muscle). But, in the end, it is still an organ, sometimes referred to as the muscle of thinking because it controls you muscles

No muscle cells exist in the brain (striated, smooth, cardiac), so it is not a muscle... it is neither capable of contraction and dilation unlike muscles when given a signal from the CNS.
The brain is like the center of the CNS and is made up of white and gray matter, containing a certain number of neurons (the grey matter has it dense, I think).

Nope. It's an organ, and it's the chief organ in your nervous system. Muscles are used for physical movement of your body. The brain is the organ that tells the rest of your body what to do.

No. Relatively rapidly after fertilization the egg differentiates into ectoderm, entoderm and mesoderm. Muscle is a mesodermal derivative. The brain is all ectoderm.
