Emerging evidence suggests that heart transplantation may involve the transfer of the donor's personality traits and memories to the recipient, challenging conventional views of memory and identity.
For some patients, their new hobbies and preferences mirror those of their donors, which has led experts to question if recipients are also receiving their donors' memories.
Researchers pointed to one case study... the boy became 'deathly afraid of water,' despite having no knowledge of his donor's tragic circumstances.
Additionally, the heart's neural network and bidirectional communication with the brain supports the concept of heart-brain connection in memory and personality.
