The brain is incapable of producing energy. It is not a battery. The energy has to come from outside the brain. I would even go so far as to say the initial energy has to come from outside the body.-To answer this question we would have to start in the womb. All of the energy to support the growing fetus comes from the mother until the fetus is capable of producing it's own, yet, even before the fetus is fully capable of sustaining its own life, due to the fact that most of its organs are not fully developed, it has consciousness.
