I think you have those backwards, anon.
Anyway, the only part of the brain that needs to be affected is the brainstem, which is kinda like the I/O bus for the brain. Neural VR is like an MITM attack, reading and writing signals to and from the brain and the body. There is no need to read or write from other parts of the brain such as memory (and indeed, a good number of reasons not to).

If the unit were to lose power, one's neural connections would naturally reconnect themselves, eliminating risk of death or brain damage.

We already know a good deal about how to read neural impulses. but less about how to write them. Work in transcranial magnetic stimulation offers the most promise, as you can use magnetic fields to induce voltages in nerves the same way one does in electrical transformers.
