How in the world do you equate brain transplants and body swapping? Do you think that a transplanted brain from a person of a different gender would suddenly make your body different?
No disease is incurable. That goes against everything biologists understand. It may not be possible to develop the cure, but incurability
qua incurability is a misnomer.
And as for brain research, perhaps you would be interested in a small piece of what is happening at my institution.
