Brain Transplant?
Answer:
Transplanting a brain would be like transplanting a kidney. If the donor kidney had spots on it; then it would always have spots. The spots are part of the physical makeup of the donor kidney.
A donor brain would work the same way. Memories are encoded into cells (or networks of cells) chemically (and electrochemically as they are accessed). So memories are part of the physical structure of the brain. Putting a donor brain into a new body would give the recipient new memories and a new identity. This person would no longer "feel" like the same person, or remember the same childhood. He would be, literally, a new man.
Weird thought, eh?
Definitely the memories are in the brain and will follow it.
as far as people can tell most of the memories will go with the brain,
sometimes emotional things, like the love of a particular food, will go with the body.
but the technology is not quite there yet to be able to do that sort of thing, but soon it might be.
Instead of worrying about brain transplants, lets worry about how to download out minds into computers.
wait for a first brain transplant ! then u will kno .lol
I hope you understand the 'person' getting the brain transplant would no longer exist
