Ice slurry ingestion reduces human brain temperature measured using non-invasive magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract We previously reported that ice slurry ingestion reduced forehead skin temperature, thereby potentially reducing brain temperature (Tbrain). Therefore, in the current study, we investigated the effect of ice slurry ingestion on Tbrain using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which is a...
