According to research by Dr. Chandra Suresh, a particular mutation in the brain has caused some people to develop superhuman powers. Additionally, Sylar has targeted evolved humans with the intent of removing their brains.
About
Don't Look Back
James Walker is found frozen in his house with his brain removed. He appears to have died before the brain was removed.
In an alternate future, Hiro Nakamura happens upon Isaac Mendez's dead body. The painter's brain has been removed.
One Giant Leap
While searching Sylar's apartment, Eden McCain and Mohinder Suresh find disturbing medical texts outlining how to expose the brain.
Collision
Brody Mitchum accidentally knocks Claire Bennet in such a way that a tree branch becomes lodged in her brain. She appears dead until the medical examiner removes the branch from her brain. With an exasperated breath, life returns to Claire. Her eyes deglaze, her skin pigment returns, and her power becomes accessible again, as though a foreign object in her brain acts like an on/off switch.
At a secret medical facility, Matt Parkman is held captive by Mr. Bennet and a mysterious man. His brain is hooked up to monitors. As Matt attempts to read the minds of his captors, his brain waves vacillate greatly.
Seven Minutes to Midnight
While perusing his father's research in Sanjog's file, Mohinder comes across an article proclaiming that scientists have found new areas in the brain. The article states that the researchers used DCX imaging to determing that "we all have an area in our brains that functions independently of the other areas".
At the Burnt Toast Diner, Charlie Andrews's head is sliced open, killing her.
Homecoming
At Union Wells High School, Sylar attacks Jackie Wilcox. He uses telekinesis to slice open her head and get at her brain, but is interrupted.
Mr. Bennet shows Eden several pictures of Sylar's victims, their brains removed.
Six Months Ago
Dr. Suresh meets with Gabriel Gray and performs tests on his brain. He explains to his subject that the special abilities of evolved humans come from a particular structure of the brain. He also teaches Gray that the brain controls every action. Quoting his book, the doctor says that if there's a soul, it's in the brain. Later, in his watch shop, Gabriel Sylar seems to understand that Brian Davis's power of telekinesis originates in the brain. He understands how the brain works, and how all the pieces fit together. He notes that Davis has a "defect", and that it's fixable. Gabriel is then compelled to bludgeon Davis over the head.
Charlie reveals to Hiro that she has an blood clot in her brain.
Fallout
In Sylar's cell, Eden finds herself in Sylar's clutches. Upon his threat to steal her power, Eden quickly decides to shoot herself. She aims for her head, effectively destroying her brain. Sylar appears angry with her action.
Notes
- While in training and observation at an Alaskan facility owned by the Agency Without Initials, Hana Gitelman undergoes many tests. Her brain is examined in an MRI machine. (Wireless, Part 2)
- The serial killer Sylar has removed the brains of many of his victims. There is a high correlation between victims of brain removal and Dr. Suresh's list of evolved humans.
- Based on Dr. Suresh's theories, the wide range of special abilities that evolved humans have demonstrated all originate in the brain, even those that would logically seem to be unrelated to brain development, such as enhanced strength and rapid cell regeneration.
