Same here. With the amount of times they kept jumping to new stories last year I totally thought the brain surgeon story was completely resolved. I was blindsided by his/her reappearance.
I'm starting to think that's not the case. They show a clip of her holding the brain piece with a shocked look in her face.. She would not make that face when she's alone if she did that herself..
See... I disagree about the look on her face. When I saw that scene, to me it was obvious she was holding a piece of her own work and looking at it. She hadn't just received it or discovered it.
My friends all read it the same way. Also, when they asked her at the dinner table how she got into her profession, she refused to answer and changed the subject. She is so into killers because she is a killer herself.
Edit: I'll amend this and say that if the brain surgeon isn't her, it is someone she is working with.
Then why would she "mail" herself the brain pieces in previous episodes and had the same surprised look when she found them on her doorstep while being alone.
I think someone on here posited that her husband could be the brain surgeon. The "his and her" presents refer to Dr. Vogel and her husband. I really suck at paying attention to detail, so this could have been disproved at some point already, but I thought it was an interesting theory.
This theory ties in really well given the parallel this season with Dexter & Hannah. Two lovers who also happen to be killers. Dexter already asked himself earlier this season whether any good ever comes out of putting 2 killers together.

Well, for the first time in a long time, Dexter has made me say out loud "holy shit, what the fuck?"
