It's funny, some argued 'myths' were a tool of the brain to explain the world and are one side of a spectrum with rationality the other, but they still linger in every thought. "Myth is already enlightenment, and enlightenment reverts to mythology." Adorno, T. W., and Max Horkheimer. [1947] 2002. Dialectic of Enlightenment, translated by E. Jephcott. Stanford: Stanford University Press. Rational thought in western philosophy is closely related to 'Gnothi seauton' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_thyself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_thyself With science, as the foremost form of rationality today, of the opinion, the 'self' residing in the brain. Which may be an albeit practical myth of the brain to explain itself to itself.
