It depends. Most of the time, it is just protein and fat that is digested just like any other food. However, if the brain (or any part of the human that you are eating) is carrying any disease, there is a chance of you contracting the disease. There is also evidence that certain forms of diseases caused by something called 'prions,' might not be destroyed by cooking. If someone tells you that eating human brains (or other body parts) will instantly and inevitably cause health problems, they are just repeating an urban legend -- however, the chance of contracting a disease is higher than eating non-human animals.

Yes. Cow brains are edible. But eating them is more risky than eating other beef products. Cow brains, like human brains, can contain harmful prions such as those that cause kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease ("mad-cow disease, or spongiform encephalopathy).

If you don't care about the much higher risk of contracting CJD (a form of Mad Cow Disease in humans) from eating a cow's brains, then yes. Otherwise, most people get disgusted by the thought of eating an animal's brains and, consequently, would wisely say no to this question.

I have no personal desire to do so, but they are perfectly edible if you feel so inclined to partake of them.

I'll quote willy wonka here. "Everything in this room is edible. I am edible, but that my children, is called cannibalism, and is frowned upon in most societies.
