Parallel Evolution of Selective Brain Cooling in Artiodactyls
Meeting Abstract 63-4 Saturday, Jan. 5 14:15 – 14:30 Parallel Evolution of Selective Brain Cooling in Artiodactyls O’BRIEN, HD; OSU Center for Health Sciences haley.obrien@okstate.edu Selective brain cooling (SBC) is a mechanism by which artiodactyl mammals stabilize brain temperatures below rising body temperatures. By lowering hypothalamic temperature, SBC significantly reduces evaporative water loss (≤6 liters/day). SBC is […]
