If the brain stem is alive but the brain is dead, it indicates a condition known as "brain death." In this state, the brain stem can still control basic life-sustaining functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, but higher brain functions, including consciousness and cognitive abilities, are irreversibly lost.
