The neuron replacement argument is based on experiments with replacement of neurons in a consciousness and ixperiencitness producing body like a human being while maintaining identical or near identical physapaths. Since there are billions of neurons in a human brain, we can imagine the replacement of one or more neurons that are made of different matter but have the same structure and functioning as the original replaced neurons. The replacement schedule can be one neuron replaced at a time to any desired number being replaced at a time. The purpose of these experiments is to see if the number or amount of neurons that are replaced will effect the resulting behavior. Because the experiment requires that the brain's resulting structure and functioning be the same as it would have been before the replacement of of neurons, in any sequence that resulting behavior or behaviorpath should be the same.
