1. Under anesthesia, the neurons within the brain are fully connected and have access to blood and other resources of the body, yet it is not functioning at all. No pain, respiratory drive, no memory
2. Patients with large parts of their brains removed, or large parts of their brains injured by stroke, can recover fully to a point that is functionally indistinguishable from their previous intact state.

2. That’s not true. They might look they have recovered but passing a standard cognitive test and the artifice will go away. The brain is notoriously bad at healing itself because mammals and especially humans don’t produce new neurons after teenage apart from very restricted areas (SVZ, stratium, which are still controversial btw).
