A significant data point here is that organ transplants -- including those of entire limbs -- have been made to work already. This indicates that the wiring in general cannot be so specific as to be impossible to replicate or regrow without originals.
Also, we've transplanted animal heads.
Yes, but we don't have any good data on whether the animals had the same personality so that doesn't provide the same sort of data that organ and limb transplants do. But the overarching point seems correct.
