Nerves can be and are transplanted. There was just a mother who gave two nerves to her son so that he could have sensations in his hands after an accident. It is a relatively new field, but such transplants happen.

Is cardiac plexus transplanted with heart during heart transplant surgery?
No. Since there are now ways to adequately connect the donor nerves to the transplant patient, these nerves are not kept. For this reason, the transplanted heart lacks the innervation of the normal heart.
Can the brain be trasnplanted?
The brain can not be transplanted at present. No way exists to make a brain connect with the nerves of another individual. Transplanted lungs can work without having nerves connected to them. Hearts can use pacemakers instead of nerves from the brain to keep them ticking. Other transplanted organs do not need as many nerve endings or can wait for new nerves to grow.-------------------------------------------------Currently we are not at a point where the surgery can be done, but perhaps due to research in related fields, within a half a century, we may have most of the required technology.The Brain and Spinal Cord would have to be transplanted intact. The central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord have mechanisms to inhibit growth with a lot of current research into this, especially to aid people with spinal cord injuries.Neurons and nerves are some of the longest cells in the body, with some individual cells running essentially the whole length of the body, or perhaps having a single synapse in the middle. If you cut the neuron's axon, then the rest of the axon is essentially dead and permanently severed from the cell body and dendrites.Peripheral nerves will regrow, and can actually grow along existing nerve fibers. However, the growth is very slow and might take months or years.One other huge hurdle that might come into play would be tissue rejection and immune response. The blood brain barrier, and perhaps bone marrow transplants might help with this, but tissue rejection often slowly kills transplanted organs. For example transplanted kidneys usually fail in 10 to 20 years. Deterioration or rejection of the brain would be particularly traumatic.
