I heard that recently in the forth book of the Unwind Dystology.Seems like a logical occurance and I guess it would make sense because your cells are constantly being replaced and rebuilding. it makes me wonder what memories are. lets say you have a memory of going to your grandparents house when you were 8 and now you are 32, your body has replaced itself 3 times so all your brain cells are just replaying a scene that it was not there fore.

Obviously not every cell in your body replaces. If your brain cells replace, then you won't be able to remember anything. Also, I have heard something about receptor cells in the ear not replacing, therefore hearing deteriorates with age. Link to post Share on other sites
