Elevated brain temperature under severe heat exposure impairs cortical motor activity and executive function

Elevated brain temperature under severe heat exposure impairs cortical motor activity and executive function

Background: Excessive heat exposure can lead to hyperthermia in humans, which impairs physical performance and disrupts cognitive function. While heat is a known physiological stressor, it is unclear how severe heat stress affects brain physiology and function. Methods: Eleven healthy participants w...
