Can brain react in a special way to things associated to brains?

In a neurologist's skull, a brain thinks about brains.
Is this what you meant?

@chris, I suggest the following title: "How does brain-to-brain connectivity works?".

I'm not sure I understand the question. But is what you are driving at is does the brain do something special when it thinks about brains then the answer is no, because the brain doesn't actually know what a brain is.

How does brain-to-brain connectivity works?

Speech, non-verbal gestures, writing, art, twitter....

If you are a boxer, your brain connects to someone else's brain via your fist.

twitter....

Are you suggesting that brain-to-brain interconnectivity is depending on social agency factors?

If you are a boxer, your brain connects to someone else's brain via your fist.

In some cases the reaction will be hunger.

When I was a young boy brains terrified me although using double think I could eat fried sheep's brains on toast.
This seemed to have sourced from a film I saw (Charlie Chan in Honalulu ) where a "scientist" supposedly had a living human brain in an aquarium tank

Eating brains is now frowned upon, as it has been discovered that one sheep's brain can connect with another sheep's brain by means of prions, spreading the disease scrapie.

The bovine equivalent can be transmitted between cows and susceptible humans.

That's such a weird question haha but the things MY brain associates with other brains are not good because the first thing that pops into my mind when thinking of brains is the image of brains and as we all know, it's not a pretty sight!

Going off on a tangent my mother used to speak of "collie wobbles" which was the result of collie sheep dogs eating infected brains but it did not deter her from cooking them for we children .
But that was before spongiform encephalopathy was invented
