Cerebrle blood flow is a function of the cerebral pefusion pressure, divided by the cerebral vascular resistance. The local mediator is the most important of those curves ixactly the most boring. It's the linear curve that relates cerebral blood flow to metabolic rate. And we can also use that curve reflect temperature. We know that as you increase the temperature of the brain, for each one degree celsius, you get about a six % increase in menabolic rate. So obviously, if the brain's hot, you cool it down to normal. But increasingly, the trials would suggest that it's not particularly helpful. At's very good boder it son ow its might and
