Personal changes were observed after the heart transplant in practice from the beginning From the transplants. In one case, the person who hated classic music developed a passion for the type after receiving a musical heart. The recipient died later Holding the violin case.
In another case, a 45 -year -old man commented on how, since he received The heart of a 17 -year -old boyHe loves to put headphones and listen to loud music – Algo has never done it before the transplant.
A recent study He suggests this Heart transplant receptors may not be the only one that is subject to personality changes. These changes can occur after planting any organ.
What can this explain? The suggestion can be that it is a fake effect, as a tremendous joy for receiving a The breath of new life Give the person Another behavior. Other transplant receptors suffer from Sins and depression crises And others Psychological problems Which can also be considered personality changes.
However, there is some evidence that these personal changes are not only psychological. Biology can also play an important role.
The cells of the transplanted organs will make the expected function – the heart cells will strike, filter the kidneys, and the liver cells will turn – but it also plays a role in other parts of the body. Many members and their cells are launched Hormones or Signal particles Which has a local effect and in other parts of the body.
The heart appears to be more commonly associated with personality changes. Rooms release gastrointestinal hormones, including “Natari atrial peptide” and “Natherebrey Pedrobi”Which helps to regulate fluid balance in the body that affects the kidneys.
They also perform a A role in the balance of the electrolyte and Prevented Activity by our nervous system responsible for Fighting or responding to the response. Cells responsible for this in UpdatePart of the brain that plays a role in everything from balance (biological systems balance) to humor.
Therefore, the donor organ, which may have a basic level of hormones and peptide production differs from the original organ, can change the mood of the future and its personality through the materials it issues.
It has been proven that the levels Higher “They never return to normal.” Although part of the height may be a response to the shock of surgery, it may not be responsible for everything.
Memories stored outside the brain
Body stores Memories in the brain. We reach them when we think or can be turned on with vision or smell. but Memories are essentially nerve chemical processes The nerves transmit pulses to each other and exchange specialized chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the interface between them.
Although the transplant surgery in the transplant, many nerves that control the function of the organ and cannot be replaced, this does not mean that the nerves inside the organ do not continue to work. In fact, there is evidence that they could be Partial restoration One year after surgery.
These nervous chemical procedures and interactions can be feed on the nervous system of the future, which leads to a physiological response that affects the personality of receptors according to the donor memories.
We know that donor cells are present in Receptor and DNA is shown in the recipient's body After two years of planting. This raises again the issue of where the DNA goes and what measures can be.
One thing he does Motivating immune responses. These immune responses can be sufficient to operate personal changes, as it is known that low -level and long -term inflammation is able to do so. Changing character featuresAs is the diastole and awareness.
Whatever the mechanism, or combining mechanisms, responsible, this field of research deserves more research so that receptors can understand physical and psychological changes that can occur after surgery.
