Abstract

Data on the distribution of heat sources in the human head and their dependence on environmental temperature are accounted for on the basis of a physically realistic theoretical model. A previous model involving a physically unrealistic dependence of metabolic rate on non-local temperature is shown to be contained in the present model.
