For people, this means nearly instantaneous death. Decapitation using an ax (and later the French invention, the guillotine) has been a method of execution since ancient times. The Japanese culture is unique in that it regards beheading as an honorable death, as for warriors, under the bushido code.
For lower animals not as dependent on their brains, life functions other than eating may continue for some time after the removal of the head. Roaches, in particular, are noted for surviving for days or weeks.
In one famous case in 1945, a rooster named Mike lived for 18 months following the removal of most of his head. Scientists suspected that his brain stem (which controls involuntary reflexes such as breathing) was not cut away, and he was sustained on a liquid diet by his owner.

Do people run like a chicken with their head cut off?
No, people will not run if heir head is cut off as the brain is detached to the other parts the body and thus, will not be able to send any signals for the body to move. However, when a chicken is decapitated (head cut off) there is a nervous reflex that causes random jerking and flopping for a few seconds. This was a common sight to anyone that raised and harvested their own chickens- and became an expression for someone engaged in a panicky unproductive movement.
