In many religions-Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as Greek Philosophy-attempts are made to mortify the body, to respond as little as often to it's carnal needs and what-not. This is possible to be prepared for a new existence as just a disembodied soul, in some heavenly spirit realm or what-not.
However, this begs the question-is it possible to truely 'exist' without feeling pleasure, pain etc.? How will we see? Would we just "feel" and "Think" feelings and emotions, like a dream? Not being able to touch, smell and what-not? Part of our mood, after all, is directed by our physical surroundings.
What about those with mental disabilities, caused somewhat by how their brain is either undeveloped or damaged? Since a physical cause is partially responsible for the condition of the soul, will the soul still carry that condition without the brain?

No I do not believe the soul can possibly exist without the brain.
The soul is just reality oriented from the observer, and that happens to be you. All reality is percieved to have you and your brain right at its epicenter.
