Debate Methane brainfarts

[Beholder]

Besides screwing things up with a metaphorical brainfart, is it possible for a brain to physically fart?

If a brain gets infected with bacterias, some of these might produce methane gas just like in a stomach who lacks the enzymes to break down a certain type of food. But does it count as a fart if the gas is not released? Or could the gas find another way to escape, thus creating a fart burp or ear fart?

Is the inability to brainfart why seemingly smart aliens have such big heads inflated by trapped gas?

- See my big head. No way you can outsmart me. Surrender now, primitive human.

Turned off my ventilation all day to save electricity, so it's the same gas used to kill pigs. Then get these questions in my head after midnight.

That would be one hell of a migraine. If you also note in the original Trek pilot, Talosian head veins would pulse.
