Thats a really interesting idea! if you put someone elses memories 
in your head, you would probably get really confused and think they 
were actually your own memories etc. maybe the memories have some 
way of distinguishing between people, so they would recognise the 
brain that they should be in.

I don't think Dumbledore has the memories in his head, but if it is 
GG's penseive, it could lead to some informative storylines where 
harry looks at these memories

I definetly think that brain will have had some lasting effect on 
Ron, and it will be mentioned in the next book. (maybe just in 
passing though) that idea leads me to wonder whose brain was that 
anyway? if it belonged to a wizard that died or something, it could 
have some intersing memories or thoughts, but if that brain had 
always been in that tank, i doubt its memories would be very 
interesting. 
I can't imagine that Ron would put other peoples memories from a 
penseive in his head, he would probably find that a bit weird
