Ketones.
As the fast continues and glycogen is depleted, the body finds a way to use its fat to fuel the brain. It adapts by combining acetyl CoA fragments derived from fatty acids to produce an alternative energy source, ketone bodies.

Is fat is the primary fuel for the brain?
Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply blood glucose. A process called glycogenolysis can break down glycogen stored in the liver to glucose. This then travels in the blood to your brain or muscles in need of glucose.

What supplies some of the fuel needed by the brain only after the body has been fasting?
Well, without a doubt some of the fuel needed by the brain after the body has been fasting is drawn from the body's fat reserves. Some probably comes from muscle tissues as well, although this is probably a lesser amount. Portions more than likely vary depending on the physical fitness of the individual. When fat reserves are depleted, and the body is still in a state of fast, major organs will begin to be consumed to keep the brain intact. I can't tell you specifically where to verify any of this, or even that it is necessarily true. It is true to the best of my knowledge, but I am by no means an expert.
