Anyway, getting back to the definition, yes, it is a three-pound organ that controls our body's functions. It interprets information from around us and governs things such as intelligence, memory, creativity, emotion, etc. Also, it receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. In short, it does a lot of work!
