So Glycogen isn't an essential carbohydrate for the brain - You tested that assertion... how?
 
Glycogen is a complex glucose polymer found in a variety of tissues, including brain, where it is localized primarily in astrocytes. The small quantity found in brain compared to e.g., liver has led to the understanding that brain glycogen is merely used during hypoglycemia or ischemia.Mar 2, 2012

Glycogen is produced from muscle tissue as well. You don’t need to consume carbs to live.
