From encarta.msn.com (search for "brain"):

The brain makes us conscious, emotional, and intelligent. Broca's area, a part of the cortex related to speech, is located in the frontal lobe. Wernicke's area, a part of the cortex related to the understanding of language, is located in the temporal lobe. Many other areas of the cerebral cortex have also been mapped according to their specific functions, such as vision, hearing, speech, emotions, language, and other aspects of perceiving, thinking, and remembering. Cortical regions known as associative cortex are responsible for integrating multiple inputs, processing the information, and carrying out complex responses.
I can tell your biggest hang up about believing in the soul, or god, or anything metaphysical of that nature is that all ideas are stored in the brain, to which I can only say, yes, that is all that is currently known to humans about the brain, thoughts, and ideas.
