  • Brain has a fear of water, and is very talented in soccer, on the cello, and academically, hence his name.

  • Brain's goal is to be an astrophysicist.

  • In seasons 3-4, the Brain's voice went through a drastic change due to the fact that Luke Reid was going through puberty at the time, although Marc Brown later decided the voice tone for the Brain was too deep, so he decided to assign new voiceovers to voice Brain who can sound like his original voice from season 1, and would again sign a new voiceover if that actor's voice goes into a drastic change.
