 * In the course of the quest "Nothin' But a Hound Dog", it is possible to stealthily kill Lupa and loot Lupa's brain from her corpse. If she is successfully killed without the player being noticed, Antony may not "notice" that Lupa has died and will still give you the option to fight her in the arena for her brain. If the player accepts, it is possible to obtain a second Lupa's Brain. Having 2 of the brains in your inventory will cause Dr. Henry to not recognize that you have the brain at all, making it impossible to give Rex Lupa's brain. To solve this, either revert to an earlier save, or enter in the console. Make sure that you only have one instance of Lupa's brain.
 * The transplant may make Rex's health 100/0, causing him to die in one hit.
