A new study has found that 89% of organ transplant recipients reported personality changes, including shifts in food choices, sexual preferences, and even professional interests. Some have even claimed to acquire memories of their donor.

This phenomenon occurred regardless of the organ transplanted. A separate team of researchers found that most participants reported changes in their personality, including “enhanced social and sexual adaptation” and “spiritual or religious episodes.”

Some researchers are cautious about the findings, claiming they result from improvements in physical health that typically follow the surgery.
