The influence of the atomic soul can be spread all over a particular body. According to the Mundaka Upanishad, this atomic soul is situated in the heart of every living entity, and because the measurement of the atomic soul is beyond the power of appreciation of the material scientists, some of them assert foolishly that there is no soul. The individual atomic soul is definitely there in the heart along with the Supersoul, and thus all the energies of bodily movement are emanating from this part of the body. The corpuscles which carry the oxygen from the lungs gather energy from the soul. When the soul passes away from this position, the activity of the blood, generating fusion, ceases. Medical science accepts the importance of the red corpuscles, but it cannot ascertain that the source of the energy is the soul. Medical science, however, does admit that the heart is the seat of all energies of the body.
The above is from A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swmi, founder of ISKCON,
in the purport to Bhagavad-gita, chapter 2, verse 17.
Elsewhere it is mentioned that mind, intelligence and false are the three subtle coverings of the soul. The mind, intelligence and false are also called as suksma sarira(subtle body) as opposed to the sthula sarira(gross body) made up of 5 elements earth, water, air, fire and eather.
So the conclusion is that the mind is the subtle covering of the soul in the heart. And the reflection of this mind in the heart is reflected in the brain located in the head.

Your brain and all the bio-electrical impulses that make up your thoughts are all encased in your head. Your mind, however, is an abstract idea and cannot be mapped to your physical body.

Ah! This is what Aristotle asked!
"Where is the seat of the human soul?"
It is in your head my friend.
In the past humans have exhausted the possiblity of it being elsewhere, such as: the liver, pancreas, heart, lung, even bladder!
IF we have a soul, it more than likely equates to our personality... Personality is obviously a function of the frontal lobe.
Hope that helps.

We are made up of spirit, soul and body. Your mind is part of your soul which includes your will and your emotions.
