No.
That's not the case. It may be said that the brain, like every other part of the body has to dispose of excess glucose as fast as possible so burns glucose before ketones but for every neurone in the brain there are nine astrocytes. Astrocytes prefer to deal with fatty acids rather than glucose as their primary energy fuel and at times of glucose restriction ensure neurones are supplied with ketones.
We have to remember the brain is 60% fat and mylene sheath is 70% fat. We have to retain the metabolic flexibility to switch fuels as required. Generally speaking the brain functions better when in ketone burning mode. If you think about it our hunter gatherer ancestors had to be able to hunt wild animals when starving. If their brains/muscles didn't function properly when desperately hungry humans wouldn't have survived the evolutionary process.
