In an abstract sense, a human brain does the thinking and processing of information, whereas the heart circulates vital blood to even more vital organs that perform other functions. In this sense, you can consider the computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit) a brain, and you could consider the motherboard to be a modified heart.

However, if you were to get more specific, then you cannot truly consider either of these to be true. Since a human brain also holds the power to remember, recite, process information, create new information, and control the entire human body, whereas all of these functions are performed by different parts in a computer, the brain is separated. The RAM provides short term memory, the hard drive long term, the CPU thinking capabilities, the motherboard communication between parts, the monitor your hand gestures, speakers your mouth, mouse, keyboard, microphone, and webcam, your senses... the list goes on. Then of course, the heart of a human being is performing the task of providing one fluid and one fluid only: Blood, the thing that allows other parts to actually survive, but nothing more. For a computer, electricity is blood, and the power supply provides electricity - from an external source.

To put it quite simply, a computer performs many of the same basic operations as a human does, but none of the parts or methods of doing so are anything close to the same.

The closest entity to a heart in a computer is the power supply. Without it, all functions would cease.
