No, your brain will remain intact if you hold in a sneeze. But it can have an effect on the inner ear, such as creating a blockage in the eustachian tube. Often when a person does have a bad cold they have hearing problems, but realize they can hear better after sneezing or blowing their nose.

Sometimes of course you just cannot sneeze, like at the theatre or the movies, and you have to hold it. It's very painful but my brain is still intact after 51 years!
