Re: Newton’s law of cooling—I’m not sure if it applies as much to the brain.
This is because the brain has other cooling mechanisms that kick in when overheating is detected. Yawning, panting, sweating/evaporative cooling from the forehead, and also blood flow to the brain can increase as well.
Yeah—you are right the cooling curve is definitely not linear—but I stand by my point that the data clearly shows that the brains heat generation ability greatly outstrips its cooling ability.
