The search for the seat of the soul in the body has taken its place in the history

The early search for the soul involved almost all civilizations

In ancient times so many places were suggested as the place of soul;

i.e. heart, all the body, fourth ventricle, the brain substance itself,pineal gland etc

Hippocampus is the most vulnerable place in the brain to several types of insult like ischemic insult.

This story is based on the forementioned knowledge…

a Psychiatry Imaging Lab

November 2025

University of California

An ordinary morning at the lab

John was reviewing the control data to scan for today

Katie glancing at the paper on the net while having her breakfast

John (32) a young scientist, a man of passion and imagination

Katie (33), a dedicated scientist, and more reasonable

John:

Katie! Today we’ve a bus of kids as the control group, and a girl of 22 years old.

John:

ADV (Angel of Death Virus)

A legend or does it really exist?

11:45 a.m. EDT November 5, 2025

Katie:I see.

John, what is that Angel of Death Virus?

Oh, Gosh! Yes..Some unidentified cases.They say this new virus enters the body, stays cool in cervical vertabrae till it activates for some reason.n 5 minutes. Immediate death!

John:

When activates it eats up all

the cervical vertabrae,

breaks the neck shortly.

Immediate death!

Selma (22)

Spent the afternoon at the hospital.

As a control group subject

Took all the tests ,also MR scan

She was paid 150 bucks.

Now she drives back home.

It was a lovely Californian evening

Did she feel a bit hungry?

It started to rain. She liked it.

Time to stop by for some donut and coffee

It was also a long day for a bus of kids, being at hospital for MRI scan as “control group”

They had fun.

An unforgettable experience!

Also some moms were with them!

Just after leaving the coffee-shop Selma caught the school bus!

Control subjects like her going back home…

Then.

The bus stopped immediately on the high-way just in front of her.

John: Katie, police called. The kids, our control group for today.All found dead in the bus. Also this girl..Selma..in her car.

What???!?

John:John: All with a broken neck.

Let’s go. Take the MRI scan with you. I took mine.

Katie:

John and Katie were there just 10 minutes after the deaths..

They scanned all the kids and Selma immediately in 30 minutes

John worked at the lab all night. With Katie..

Excited. Nervous. Curious.

John got the morphometric results and compared them with the ones before they died.

Katie:Katie: What did you find, John?What did you find, John?

John: Hippocampus is the most atrophic after death! I think I was right….

????Katie:

John: Hippocampus…It has a lot of functions, but also is the seat for the soul!

The souls of these people left their bodies there tonight from their hippocampi!

If you believe in the immortality of the

soul, you can explain our finding saying

“it was there, and just left the body” or

hippocampus being the Exitus pole for

the soul!

If you believe it is dead after death! Then it has gone with the body….left back its seat atrophic!
