Well, there are some things that the brain needs to survive.

That is glucose and oxygen amongst other things. If you don't eat, your brain will eventually run out of glucose and when you run out of that, you'll eventually run out of oxygen.

I'd say it depends on what your body has stored up, because it converts many things into glucose when needed - that is as an example adrenaline and gender-related hormones. So, before you starve to death, you might experience some mood-changes. Take the example of a male. He's got testosterone in his body. Testosterone and adrenaline makes an explosive mood (so ditto: He might die from a bar-fight rather than starving to death)....
