The mass of an adult human brain is approximately 1300 to 1400 grams (2.87 to 3.1 pounds).
A newborn human brain is about 350 to 400 grams (0.77 to 0.88 pounds).
The average Male's brain weighs 1360 grams (3 pounds)
The average Female's brain weighs 1250 grams (2.8 pounds)
The brain weights of some well known people:
The brain of Albert Einstein weighed 1230 grams (2.71 pounds)
The brain of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss weighed 1492 grams (3.29 pounds)
The brain of the leading poet of Russian Revolution Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky weighed 1700 grams (3.75 pounds)
According to the Ripley's Believe it or Not I got in my email inbox from comics.com on April 11, 2009, the answer is 70%.
No, it is made of neurons and nerve cells.

Adipose tissue :1) Serves as a fat reservoir. 2) Provides shape to the limbs and the body. 3) Keeps visceral organs in position. It forms shock-absorbing cushions around kidneys and eye balls. 4) Acts as an insulator, and regulates body temperature .
Brain tissues are made of neurons (cells) which together form nervous tissue.The brain is made of neurons, which are long, thin cells with tentacles that can be up to a meter long. There are also up to 50 billion other non-neural cells, such as cells that line the BBB [the blood brain barrier, which prevents encephalitis, or infection and subsequent inflammation of the brain].
The brain and spinal cord
There really isn't a type of tissue specialized for storing fat. Fat is a tissue. It is made from cells called adipocytes. Fat's scientific name is adipose tissue. Your body needs it for insulation, cushioning and protecting vital organs. It can also be used as a form of energy in cellular respiration.
Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply blood glucose. A process called glycogenolysis can break down glycogen stored in the liver to glucose. This then travels in the blood to your brain or muscles in need of glucose.
Your brain is fat.
Fat is adipose tissue which is a connective tissue.
Fat is composed of adipose tissue, a composed of triesters of glycerol and fatty acid.adipose tissue
Brain and nerve tissue
Yes, the brain, kidneys and intestines

Some tissue in the body is made of fat. Many more are not. The tissue that has fat cells is called adipose tissue. It stores "food" for later use, insulates and acts as a protector..
It can be called brain tissue, cerebral tissue or neural tissue (although the latter phrase can refer to nerve tissue anywhere in the body, and not just in the brain).
