Assuming you could isolate that structure from the rest of the brain, yet still allow it to be recalled on the same stimuli. However, if you think about, that is undoubtedly impossible. I think the second person would have some sort of white dog-ish memories, but they would not be the same.

This is why telepathy is probably impossible. How can I decode and make sense of the signals that I get from your brain?
