Taken literally, you might answer that the brain ends where the brain matter ends. White matter at the core and grey matter layered atop it, cerebrum, divided into two hemispheres, a cortex divided into the neocortex and allocortex, both of which themselves divide into several layers, which can be further divided into ventricles, fluids, glands, ganglia, and each of these yet further divisible into neurons that are wired into a complex circuitry that channels neurotransmitters from place to place in response to nerve impulses: a tweak in electric potential in a cell which changes rapidly, triggering the transmission of signals from axons to synapses, motor cells, and glands.
