| - A positronic brain was a type of robotic brain. I-5YQ had a positronic brain.
- A positronic brain was a highly advanced computational technology found in Soong-type androids, most famously in Data. (TNG episode: "Datalore")
- This device consisted of an artificial neural network, designed to imitate the humanoid brain. The construction of a positronic brain was extremely complex, and Dr. Soong was the only scientist to have done so successfully – on at least six occasions: two unspecified prototypes, B-4, Lore, Data, and Juliana Soong (although the latter three were the only truly stable units). One of the difficulties in creating a stable positronic brain was determining how the electron resistance across the neural filaments was to be resolved. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man" )
- A positronic brain is an advanced computer or computer-like device, operating like the humanoid brain, with the ability to possibly encourage artificial sentience. Dr. Noonien Soong was the first known human to create this device and used it on several of his android creations, including Data, Lore, B-4 and Juliana Soong. The extremely complex brain operates through an artificial neural network. Soong installed at least seven positronic brains into his androids, but only the aforementioned creations were stable. Isaac Asimov created the term "positronic brain" in his works.

One of the difficulties in creating a stable positronic brain was determining how the electron resistance across the neural filaments was to be resolved. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man" ) In early 2366, Data allowed nanites to enter his neural network in order to allow the nanites to communicate verbally with the crew of the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Evolution" ) Later that year, Soong's creation, Data, attempted to emulate his father's work, and created the android Lal. However, Lal's positronic net suffered a cascade failure, and ceased functioning. (TNG: "The Offspring" ) On Omicron Theta, Dr. Soong experimented with scanning the synaptic patterns of the colonists' temporal lobes and programmed them into Data's neural nets. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar" ) In early 2368, Data's positronic links were severed, cutting off his brain from the rest of his body. (TNG: "The Game" ) A plasma shock was enough to overload Data's neural net, (TNG: "Power Play" ) while a Kedion pulse would cause Data's subroutines to reset to normal if they were altered by outside sources for some reason. (TNG: "Descent, Part II" ) Around 2370, Data began a discussion with Deanna Troi about the long-term effects of space travel on his positronic net, which Troi was later disinclined to continue.
