Redefining human brain temperature and its clinical utility
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy allowed Nina Rzechorzek (member of the O’Neill group, Cell Biology) and collaborators to create a HEATWAVE map, showing how temperatures vary in the brain across the day, between the sexes, and as we age – a healthy brain is remarkably hotter than previously assumed.
