Nope. The brain is not technically connected, though there IS a special fluid in which the brain floats around in within the skull that prevents it from smashing against the skull (usually).

However, this doesn't mean your brain is just a large floating mass of nerves away from everything. It's connected to your cerebral and visceral cortexes, which help you to make decisions and do things.
