no, it's fact - no activity in the neurons, no person. the brain is the hub of who and what we are. aside from any given physical feature, the brain (or more accurately, the mind - which is an abstract construction within the brain) defines us. if the brain stops working, the consciousness which we refer to as the person, or personality, also stops. the brain is everything to the mind and body.
many, many studies (feel free to use google - I'm sure I don't need to search for anyone here) whereby a subject's neural pathways have either been inhibited or damaged (induced, naturally or accidentally) show results whereby functionality of the body, the mind, or both, are noticeably affected - usually negatively. We also know that stopping the neural activity completely in the brain, either through starving the brain of required resources, or by damaging the brain so that the pathways are completely broken, will result in death.
surely, you are not denying these facts?
