Your literalism is silly and doesn't change the point.

There are actually four glands within the brain proper, and to the extent that the CNS also secrets neurotransmitters and other chemicals specific to its purpose, yes, it is a gland.

And I repeat: "talking" to nerve cells about how they're chemically malfunctioning doesn't alter them.

I wasn’t trying to be silly. I don’t know much about the brain. I was curious.
