[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 77462563, member: 293637"] The heart contains neurons which act like the heart's own nervous system. But those aren't brain cells. I doubt the claim that a heart transplant causes a personality change* or introduces foreign memories. *I.e. that "personality" in the heart muscle itself introduces personality change; I would accept that getting a heart transplant and all the surrounding medical stress this would put on a person could have a significant effect on a person's psychology. Though people who get pig heart transplants who suddenly start rooting around for truffles in their back yard would either be a helpful boost to such a theory, or at the very least very amusing. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
