The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages.—Eccl. 9:5. Since the dead “are conscious of nothing at all,” they cannot hear, see, speak, feel, or think. They no longer earn any wages. How could they? They are incapable of any work! Moreover, “their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished,” for they cannot express any emotion. (Eccl. 9:6, 10) What the Bible says on this subject is simple and clear—the dead do not continue to live somewhere. There is nothing that leaves our body at death and lives on so as to be reborn in another body, as stated by those who believe in reincarnation. We might illustrate matters this way: The life that we enjoy is like the flame of a candle. When the flame is extinguished, it does not go anywhere. It is simply gone God has promised that he will resurrect persons from this state. There would be no need to resurrect them if they were still living now would there.

A similar question was asked by someone else, and my reply was that this was never mentioned in the Bible. Just because it is not in the Bible does not mean it does not happen. I feel sure that God in all His wisdom can do anything He chooses.
Everything Jesus said during His lifetime was not recorded. It is possible that among the things not recorded, that He made mention to reincarnation. As Christians, from what we can understand in the Bible, it does not appear to exist.

Brain transplant???
That has nothing to do with rebirth.
