If we can keep the synapses fire along with brain cells alive, we can, in theory, transfer memory. Obviously not the memory itself, but the brain acting as a hard drive. This is why Musks nueralink is exciting. Imagine growing a perfect clone of yourself then doing a brain transplant with nueralink as the bridge. I would imagine that within the next 20-30 years we'll see that happen. Big hurdle would be keeping blood supply to the brain (feeding oxygenated blood through the carotid arteries).

The absolute biggest hurdle I think is curing dementia and alzhiemers. Can't transfer the brain if the brain is no good right?

Were gunna see some crazy medical shit within the next few decades. Just don't get your hopes up though. The tech will be too expensive for us plebians.
