The brain is undetermined.
"Even when the brain is heavily adapted to burning ketones, it still requires a baseline amount of glucose to synthesize specific neurotransmitters and keep certain cellular processes running. "

"Ketones are highly efficient and can supply up to 60% of the brain's total energy requirements during periods of starvation"
