The brain becomes deprived of oxygen when the creature depending on the brain fails to breathe. This can be reversed with quick medical attention; otherwise everything shuts down and the creature dies. Similarly if the air you are breathing is short of oxygen as in high altitude or with the use of gas mixtures such as nitrous oxide. with some of these situations it feel like you are breathing but you are in fact suffocating and causing damage to the brain.

Intercranial hemorrhage
What is the protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain?
The brain is floating in cerebral fluid within the skull and the fluid acts as a shock absorber for the brain. The hypothalamus regulates body temperature maintaining a perfect environment for the brain to survive. The brain also requires oxygen and glucose to survive and therefore a lack of oxygen caused by a decrease in either red blood cells to distribute the oxygen or a reduce intake of oxygen in the lungs for any reason whether disease or injury. A decrease or excessive increase in glucose will also cause damage to the brain as this, along with oxygen, is considered essential brain 'food'.
Does breathing stop in 2-3 minutes if the brain is deprived of oxygen?
No
Does breathing stop in 2 3 minutes if the brain is deprived of oxygen?

Why is the lack if of oxygen in the brain cell able to cause death?
Cells anywhere in the body (especially in the brain) will die if deprived of oxygen enriched blood for long.
Why sometimes do you yawn when you wake up?
Yawning upon waking can be a way for the body to increase oxygen intake, regulate body temperature, or signal a transition between sleep and wakefulness due to changes in brain activity. It is a natural physiological response and usually not a cause for concern.
What are the different types of Stroke?
There are two major kinds of stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke a blood vessel becomes blocked, usually by a blood clot and a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain burst and spills blood into the brain. When this happens, a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning.

What happens to fish deprived from oxygen?
they will swim around at the surface of the water
If the heart is diseased what will happen to the organism?
The organism will die. The heart pumps blood, which carries oxygen to all parts of the body- including the brain. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for more than 4 minutes, under most circumstances, the brain dies. When the brain dies, the organism dies.
What is the cause of aphasia?
Aphasia is caused by a brain injury, as may occur during a traumatic accident or when the brain is deprived of oxygen during a stroke. It may also be caused by a brain tumor, a disease such as Alzheimer's.
If lots of blood goes out of your body why do you die?
Every part of the human body needs oxygen, but the heart and the brain are the most critical body parts that will die soonest if they are deprived of oxygen. The brain dies in just 3 minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is carried by the blood, so if there is not enough blood, there will not be enough oxygen.
What is the time frame for brain death due to lack of oxygen?
Brain death due to lack of oxygen can occur within minutes, typically 4-6 minutes, after the brain is deprived of oxygen. The exact time frame can vary depending on factors such as the individual's health, age, and the cause of oxygen deprivation. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to prevent irreversible brain damage.
What happens when the heart is deprived of oxygen?
we will die
