There have been the cases of feral children/child abuse where the outcome resulted in the permanent inability of learning human language, higher emotional development such as feeling compassion, etc.
MRI scans of these children's brains showed underdeveloped areas that controlled these functions. Can a human stay alive with a brain that has been damaged by depriving all 5 senses, leaving just the parts of the brain that run bodily functions?
Or will this be too much of a system shock that the brain deteriorates, causing death?
