Summary:An analytical model of human brain temperature regulation is proposed. The model describes the distribution of brain temperature as a function of internal and external parameters, such as temperature of the incoming arterial blood, blood flow, oxygen consumption rate, ambient temperature, and heat exchange with the environment. It is shown that substantial changes in human brain temperature can be accomplished only through changes in the temperature of the incoming arterial blood or substantial suppression of blood flow. Other parameters can lead only to temperature changes near the brain surface.
