Brain death refers to the complete and irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including electrical activity, which can be confirmed through tests such as an electroencephalogram (EEG). In addition, reflexes and responses to stimuli are absent in a person who is brain dead. While the terms cerebral death and cortical death are sometimes used interchangeably with brain death, they technically refer to different degrees or locations of brain damage that may not necessarily result in complete cessation of brain function. Neural death is not a commonly used term in the medical field.
