Brain death is defined as the complete and irreversible loss of brain function, including the brain stem. Determining brain death requires the absence of neurological function, including no response to stimuli, no movements or breathing, and no reflexes. Medical tests are used to confirm brain death through physical exams and assessments over a period of time to ensure the brain has permanently and completely ceased to function.
