Brain temperature

Brain regions selected for temperature measurement using magnetic resonance spectroscopy are shown as overlays on standard MSR scans of the brain in different planes. 80 regions were selected in the cerebrum (shown in top view, top left, and side view, top right) and grouped into four concentric layers (top left). One region was selected in the hypothalamus (Hypo, shown in top, side and front view, bottom left of center) and one region in the thalamus (Thal, shown in front view, bottom right). The hypothalamus is an important area in the regulation of many things including temperature, sleep and biological clock. Credit: Nina Rzechorzek/Edinburgh Imaging/Brain

The human brain is hotter than previously thought, sometimes more than 42 degrees
