I get that eating human brains can give you a deadly disease, but what I wanna know is why didn't the brain owner die from that same disease?

It's because an essential protein got misfolded while the body decays, these misfolded proteins can misfold other protein and suddenly your brain is full of useless molecules instead of what it needs.
