The Discovery Channel: Transplanting Memories
Processing your request, Please wait....
People who have had a heart transplants claim to have obtained some of their donors memories. People often show signs of personality change similar to the person who gave them the organ. Do other parts of the body have have memories as well as the brain?
In TRANSPLANTING MEMORIES, prominent medical experts attempt to explain why some organ recipients adopt these memories and emotions, also known as “cellular memories”. While a handful of scientists are skeptical dismissing this strange phenomena as post-surgery stress or reaction to anti-organ rejection drugs — they are also countered by a growing number of experts who believe cellular memories are indeed transplanted with organs. Dr. Candace Pert, a pharmacologist and professor at Georgetown University believes the mind is not just in the brain, but also throughout the body.
This school of thought could explain such strange transplant experiences. “The mind and body communicate with each other through chemicals known as peptides”, says Dr. Pert. “These peptides are found in the brain as well as in the stomach, muscles and all of our major organs. I believe that memory can be accessed anywhere in the peptide/receptor network. For instance, a memory associated with food may be linked to the pancreas or liver and such associations can be transplanted from one person to another”.
