How does memory work in the brain when cells are replaced?

I read a funny joke the other day that if you haven’t seen someone for 7 years, you don’t have to say hi because every cell has been replaced and they are a new person.

That being the case, how does memory work in the brain? Or are brain cells not replaced the same way?

ok so like brain cells do get replaced but not all of them like some stick around for the long haul. memories kinda hang on like that old sweater you never wear. even if cells die new ones help form those memories. so you dont lose touch just be cool with the old peeps and all the new updates
