The brain can only survive a couple of minutes without a steady flow of oxygenated blood. (This can be longer under some circumstances, but it's still measured in minutes, not days). So not necessarily IMMEDIATELY, but pretty quickly, yes, unless there's some alternative mechanism circulating and oxygenating your blood.
What else can I help you with?

If your brain stops will your heart stop?
AnswerYes. Your brain controls everything, including the heart, so if the brain stops, then you will forget how to breath.AnswerIf your brain completely stops functions, your heart will stop.However, in many cases the higher functions of the brain fail while the basic housekeeping functions continue to work. In that case you may be in a vegetative state, unable to think or recognize your surroundings, but your brain still tells your heart to beat and your lungs to breath.Comment on my new answerOh yeah, I agree.
