      The brain is an organ, but it does contain a number of organs such as the pineal gland, the pituitary etc. I think the exact number wll depend on how you define what an organ is

      I would think of the brain as an organ in-of-itself. Like duane mentions there are other organs within the brain but i would still classify these as ultimately part of the brain.

      I too would just class the brain itself as the organ.
