The effect of the ambient temperature and motor activity on brain temperature in bullfinches

In increasing of the ambient temperature, the difference between the brain and body temperatures diminished from 1.4 degrees C (at the ambient temperature 0 degree C) to 0.5 degrees C (at the ambient temperature +37 degrees C) in bullfinches, the brain temperature being always the lower one. In comb...

Description
Summary:	In increasing of the ambient temperature, the difference between the brain and body temperatures diminished from 1.4 degrees C (at the ambient temperature 0 degree C) to 0.5 degrees C (at the ambient temperature +37 degrees C) in bullfinches, the brain temperature being always the lower one. In combination of high ambient temperature and locomotor activity the brain-body temperature difference increased as the body temperature had raised higher than the brain one.
