yes, but if you mean brain transplant, well that no.
but sure you can switch brains on two cadavers.
I don't see the purpose in this.
good day.

Brain transplant, moves the brain of one being into the body of another. It is a procedure distinct from head transplant, which involves transferring the entire head to a new body, as opposed to the brain only. No technology currently exists to perform this procedure.
Although many scientists would challenge the feasibility of this process, few would say that it is not eventually possible given current research into organ transplant and human cloning. Some bioethicists would argue that there are difficult moral problems involved in either harvesting a brain-dead body, especially one deliberately created using human cloning, or otherwise acquiring a body (say, of a criminal due to be executed for a crime, or an individual who is not dead but is soon to die of a brain-based illness).

Of course, go to college and take Frankenstein 101.
Seriously: NO. The removal of the brain would produce the death of your subject. The brain makes us breath and keeps the blood pressure. The moment you transect the base of the brain you would have respiratory arrest and shock, then death. The person could be kept "alive" in intensive care while awaiting the "brain transplant" but he will be clinically dead.
Thus you would hace violated the first principle in Medicine: "Primum non nocere", Latin for "FIrst, do no harm".

They tried it with monkeys in both the USSR and USA in the sixties, although that was head transplants rather than brains and the transplanted head did function for a period after being transplanted, but for some reason the study became discredited and no further interest was shown in it.

no because you would kill both of the patients you were preforming on do to the fact that if your brain cant tell your body what to do it just shuts down

Umm...Not exactly. We are still working on it. Brains are very delicate you know.

Not really.
Science has not come to that juncture as yet
