Neuroscience 

Something which seems to have rendered the existence of a soul very, very unlikely, unfortunately.

Looks like this is the only life we're going to get folks.
Neuroscience

Recent work on the brain has shown no evidence for souls, spirits, or any part of our personality or behavior distinct from the lump of jelly in our head.

NEUROSCIENCE COPROPHAGIA EXPERIMENT 

It is this fact the MANDATORY SHITEATER in placeRETRIBUTION for pedophilia.
This is not the NEUROSCIENCE COPROPHAGIA EXPERIMENT which very elaborately us the act of retribution not imaginary as truly for real.

cognitive neuroscience

A subset of neuroscience that is "totally necessary" because "just because you can't quantify it doesn't mean it's not there." The cognitive neuroscience professors will defend the validity of cognition with their lives, and fight the neuroscience department for their honor.
"I'm in the cognitive neuroscience lab"
"..is that a wet lab?"
"No"
"Well then it's not a lab"

Hard Problem of Neuroscience

While neuroscience excels at correlating brain states with mental states, the hard problem is the same as for consciousness: why and how does the objective, electrochemical noodling of the brain produce subjective experience? Neuroscience can show you the neurons that fire when you see red, but it cannot show you the redness itself. The field can map the machinery of the mind in exquisite detail, but the ghost in the machine remains a metaphysical stowaway.
Example: "The fMRI showed a beautiful, glowing map of love lighting up the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens. The hard problem of neuroscience was that the scan, for all its color, contained not a single pixel of the feeling, the poetry, the aching joy that was actually happening in the room."

Spacetime-Probability Neuroscience

The study of the brain as a five-dimensional organ, with neural connections not just across space and time but across probability branches. This field investigates how neurons in one branch influence their counterparts in adjacent branches, how memories are stored across the probability manifold, and why brain damage in this branch sometimes correlates with enhanced function in another (the universe's cruelest compensation). Spacetime-probability neuroscience has discovered that the brain is not a single structure but a probability distribution of structures, and what we call "consciousness" is just the branch we happen to be observing. This explains phantom limb pain (the branch where the limb still exists is leaking into this one) and why some people can "feel" when someone is staring at them (probability-branch entanglement between observer and observed).
Spacetime-Probability Neuroscience Example: "He had a stroke that affected his ability to recognize faces. His spacetime-probability neurologist explained that in most probability branches, his face-recognition software was fine; he was just stuck in the branch where it wasn't. 'Somewhere,' the doctor said, 'you're recognizing faces perfectly, probably even enjoying it.' He found this cold comfort while failing to recognize his own sister."
