Agreed. Everything we know right now fully supports what you say.
For the sake of the argument (note I'm not seriously believing the following): if I were to insist on the spiritual nature of our consciousness I'd then say that if the brain is a temporary physical manifestation of it and if it's damaged one way or another, our essence is "trapped" in the brain until we die.
...But quite frankly, that's an awfully long stretch even if one is a big believer.
