Unconsciousness, death.  I answered the question in my previous post.  
Neurons cannot function without calcium because it is required for 
synaptic transmission.  If it were only in the cortex I suppose a 
vegetative state/coma might be possible, but with no activity from the 
cortex at all, I doubt it.  Why are you asking about an impossible 
scenario?
