False, without the heart, it can't pump oxygen to the brain and the remaining organs, therefore, it is not possible to live without it although there are artificial hearts it doesn't change the fact though.
The brain controls the heart directly through the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, which consists of multi-synaptic pathways from myocardial cells back to peripheral ganglionic neurons and further to central preganglionic and premotor neurons.
ALTHOUGH, the heart IS the first organ made when a fetus develops, so it could go both ways
