Soon after completing the world's first heart transplant, Christian Barnard declared that a brain transplant was unlikely in the near future, for the nature of tissue in the central nervous system (which includes the brain) made the operation virtually impossible. The renowned surgeon then added that one cannot really talk of transplanting a human brain, even if techniques were available, because the transfer of the organ could only be looked upon as providing it with a new body. The operation would therefore be a body transplant, not a brain transplant. The recipient would be certain to see himself as the donor fitted out with a new body.

This excerpt from Leonard Stevens' book, Explorers of the Brain, emphasizes something few of us can easily accept—that the colorless, characterless piece of biological material we call the brain is the command center for literally billions of personalities and behaviors, both past and present. It is the wizard that discovered fire and put human beings on the moon. It is one and the same with our conscious selves. It is both mind and body.
