A brain with soul
A tantalizing entry at the Christianity Today "books and culture" weblog:Humans first located the soul in creation--sensing divine breath in the earth, water, wind and fire--and then moved it to the human heart (thanks to a fit of Renaissance self-centeredness and the influence of Eastern medicine), before finally exiling the soul to the brain.
The entry goes on to discuss (and link to) current discussions about the soul and neuroscience.
