Is it possible to transplant human brain from one body to another body ?

Answer 1

Currently, no. But possibly in the future. The base of the brain connects to our spinal cord, which is a tight grouping of millions of nerves that run through our spine and out to all parts of our bodies. Once this cord is severed, depending on the "height" of the severing, paralysis occurs in all parts of the body no longer connected. While most organs are considered vital, without the lungs and heart operating, death will occur in a few minutes.

The key to a brain transplant would be correctly reconnecting all the millions of nerves that were severed by removing the old brain. Reconnecting nerves is a difficult process in itself that is gaining more practice in small organs/appendages, such as fingers, legs, hearts. But again, there are millions of nerves to reconnect the brain to, and it must be done properly so.

Imagine you are in the largest electronics store in the world, and all the power cords to all the electronics come together and twist into one long braid of power cords (simulates the spinal cord). This braid goes through a wall, and on the other side all the ends of the cords are plugged into electrical outlets in such a way that they could never be removed (simulates spinal cord attached to brain). Something happens to the outlets, and you will need to replace them, but you cannot simply remove the plugs, so you need to sever the braid. You install new outlets with matching wires already permanently plugged in, and must go through the process of splicing the new wires with the old braid. However, you may only connect matching wires, or you may accidentally splice a radio power wire with a television power wire. Since it is only electricity, the worst that could happen is a short in the electronic.

For the brain, a short would be deadly. A nerve coming out of a brain whose function it is to tell the heart to pump finding itself connected to a leg will continue to send the "pump" message. Your leg would jerk around, but your heart would malfunction.

Interesting question. A human brain transplant (also referred to as a whole body transplant, different from a head transplant) is not possible - yet. It may never be possible, but there are interesting experiments happening with brains and neurons and stem cells in an attempt to treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, paralysis, etc.

According to this CNN article, brain cells have been transplanted to treat a stroke victim. I also know that stem cells have been used to treat Parkinson's patients.

Maybe you will develop new technology someday to help make this happen! Good luck!

Answer 3

Hmm.. Depends on the person whose brain is about to be transplanted. hehe.. Oh, and, of course, if he or she agrees.. I mean, it's sooo complicated.. It's like to move someone's personality into another body.. and someone's character too.. It can be a total incompatibility between personality, (not to mention the brain's "attributes") characteristic and physical structure.. Hard to imagine what the result will be. Somehow I believe it would be like a "soul transplant". Because the human soul rests in the brain.. Otherwise, it might be a shock to that person, whose brain was transplanted. I wander what he or she will feel as he/she wakes up, if ever will.. =) Anyway, my conclusion is, that it is impossible.

Answer 5

You can transplant a human brain, but all you're going to end up with are two dead people.

Answer 6

Yes, I saw an episode of Star Trek where they took out and put Mr. Spocks brain back in. It was done by Bones, but he is dead now so he cannot share how it was done. Sad.

Answer 7

this means change body of a men. it is very wonderful when a ladies brain put to a mans body and revers. are you about it?

Answer 8

Not with current technology. Too many nerves (millions) to reconnect individually.

Answer 9

yup, Mel Brooks did in the movie young frank n stein

Answer 10

In time, it'll be possible, but at this moment, technology has not evolved to that level. Maybe in our lifetime, definitely in our children's, we will see it it come to pass.
