More than the heart, more than anything else I believe.

Your brain is everything you know or perceive to know. It's your identity.

You can replace any part of your body, but the brain is unreplaceable imo.

If it goes, you go with it.

Definitely, followed by the heart.

I think a better thread would be ' what is the least important part of your body?'

I'm saying pinky toes,

I think the most important part of your body isn't actually really part of your body but the life that lives on and in you and the huge influence it has on you.
 
How do you define importance? A lot of organs are vital to your body being alive. By that metric, your liver and lungs is also pretty damn important.

A lot of chemicals your brain receives to feel certain things are produced in other parts of your body. Such as serotonin. Organs don't work in isolation, our body is a system and all of our parts work together. That's why it's hard to have a healthy mind if you have a shitty diet.

If you cut off your pinky toes, you'll lose a ton of functionality. Walking and running will be a lot harder with out them.

I think we take a lot of things about our body for granted until we learn it the hard way.

Agree, the brain is important. Can't function without one. With that said ~

I read a book about organ transplants which I thought was fascinating. It was about how transplant recipients will sometimes remember events from the past that their donor had. They can also take on personality traits that their donor was known for. It isn't understood why that sometimes happens but apparently it is fairly common. Apparently not all memories are stored in the noggin.

I have an IBD condition and sometimes will joke that I want a new digestive system for Christmas. Your guts health definitely plays a roll in ones personality also. When my gut is upset, nothing is happy in the body, brain included. When the gut is troubled mentally I have a difficult time functioning.
 
Most will say the brain is most important, but they don’t realize it’s their brain telling them that… I wouldn’t trust that son of a bitch.
