in a hypothetical brain transplant, (1 Viewer)

[mysteric]

would the receiver gain the memories of the donor and/or their personality? This is assuming nothing goes wrong with the procedure itself and that brain was donated as in someone is freshly dead and they donated their brain??? idk how these things work but I'm curious

Google says that you're thinking about it wrong
Rather the donor is the one giving the body and the receiver is the person with the brain.

Begs the question. If the receiver retains memories would they be of an consequence. Its like if I forget the day I purposefully put my hand to a burner to see if I pulled back quick enough if I would feel pain... The memory is searing, but if I forgot the memory and had a catelog of my experiences written down, would I feel the same way about such a memory. Sort of like how I could read about a crime, but would feel more deeply if I seen it either happen in real time or fictionally depicted.

`I would imagine it would be the same as with your old body, since it isn't body dependent but memry dependent.

I think the person receiving the brain turns into whatever animal they inherited the brain from tbh

In a recent Spider-Man comic/series 'Superior Spider-Man' Doctor Octopus transferred his (dying body) mind into Spider-Man's body. Its over n Spidey has his body back with Ock forever banished(unless they re-vert the way they did it, i cant rmbr how now).

I always thot it dumb as brain patterns are physical (they used some pseudo science where the brain patterns overrode spidey's).

There was a book series/tv adaptation 'Altered Carbon' but i hvnt watched it, read the books umpty yrs ago but forgot most of it.

To me the only way is by magically/physically transplating the brain n then the brain would take over tat body.

Sorta like in 'Your Name' where no explanation was given, it kinda just magically/aliens? did it/ happened.

Wonder if the Spider-Man movies will ever have this story happen?

Im kinda curious how was OP originally worded tho.
