I was wondering can we go one step further..maybe exchange brains between an animal..lets randomly pick donkey and a human - lets randomly pick gautam. I want to see if we can improve human IQ. I have a feeling we might gain few points
Please see this video for surgical procedure

Hahaha. This video is hilarious hippo.
Specially the female actor's hysteria.Now , coming to the point of brain transplantation , it isn't really possible till we can come up with fixing and regenerating neural structures( nerves, synapses) and there are millions of them in a brain.Brain is nothing without spinal cord and its peripheral connections spread throughout the body. ReMaking those connections in a new body doesn't seem probable in remote future.
Another thing is that the new brain has to adjust to the new organs of recipient's body. It is an organ which has learned a lot of things in previous person's body , so making it learn how to operate the new body and other things will be a challenge too.
But before that the simpler structures have to be connected.
I think it has been tried in lower animals without success.
It is an amazing idea for a sci-fi though, a person with a dog's brain would bark and be loyal and obedient.
Hahaha. If only he does not die soon after due to rejection of transplant.
Gautam already has personality disorder, he always felt persecuted.I wish he gets counselled before he does movies, at least.
I wonder how any animals brain will react to him, it may actually feel victimized .imagine a victimized monkey.lol.
There is something called frontal lobotomy,it was done in earlier times to subdue aggressive psychiatric patients.it actually turned people into walking zombies, quite unethical.
