The brain doesn't consume enough energy to cause relevant heating. And it's more CBF cooled than blood cooled IMO

- londons_explore 4y agoThe brain generates 20 watts of heat. I assume that to work well it needs to stay within about 1 degree of 37C, like most other organs. Even the best manmade heatsinks can't dissipate 20 watts and have less than one degree of heating. So I hypothesize that heating is relevant.
