The grammar point is, just like Breckenfeld has noticed THE goes with BRAIN here. The human/body organs are reffered in this way, because they are regarded as unique: THE heart, THE brain et cetera.
http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/grammar/useartic.html Note: The is also used when what its noun refers to is unique.
Now, my humble suggestions: The brain is an amazing organ, it works non-stop until the very end of your existence, or...until you fall in love!
The brain is an amazing organ, it works non-stop until the very end of your existence, except...when the day comes that you fall in love!
The brain is an amazing organ, it toils non-stop all the time, but where is the brain when you need him? I mean, right at the time when you fall in love?!
Ha ha, nice topic!
