The Mind is used to describe mental activity that exists both objectively in the brain and subjectively in consciousness.
When discussing psychology we sometimes talk about our subjective, emotional experiences and thoughts, which are manifestations of our objective brain activity.
When speaking of subjective experience, the wiki will typically refer to consciousness or mind. When referencing observable neural activity, or just to be nondual, it will refer to the brain. Mind is the more general term that encompasses all aspects of thought.
If you talk about how does the mind work you must consider both the function of the brain and the experience of consciousness, as well as how the two interact and influence each other.
