Basically, when you turn a motor with your hands (assuming no worm gears or other stuff gets in the way), you're creating electricity. What the brake function does is create a short circuit for the motor. Thus when you turn the motor, the electricity it generates is used to counter your rotation.

In popular science they write about a conducting plastic, and they talk about using it in this manner for car brakes. (They called them "PlastiBrakes")
Just in case you want to read a further description of this phenomenon.
