Well, there's a lot of processing that's done outside of the brain, of course. Still in the CNS, but in spinal cord rather than the brain itself. As a random example, when you adjust how you place your feet to account for the specifics of the terrain you're walking on, that's carried out in the spine rather than the brain.I think it's that while she possesses Suzuna body her core identity is from her previous life, so while she have Suzuna memories and have her body, she has to have a fundamental understanding of the skill not just a vague memory of doing it. Muscle memory is basically is about performing actions subconsciously and you don't store the data in your body aside from brain, and if a person identity is in short a sum of their memories and experiences. In short this sort of stories are something like swapping brains but adding recording of the previous host memories, therefore she has her previous body muscle memory not her current one, because it all stored in the brain. It would be different story if it the base personality was Suzuna with some random girl memories all of a sudden.
...On the other hand, one could look at things from the perspective that the entirety of her current nervous system, or at least her CNS, is that of Mashiro rather than Suzuna, with the latter's declarative memories haphazardly thrown in.
