Hello, I'm an engineering major so this could sound like a REALLLY dumb question for you guys and girls but I'm just really curious...ok here it is:
CPU's (computers' brains) work faster when they're colder...do real brains work faster when they are in colder surroundings too?
As I was typing the question I realized that, unless it's sick, the body's temperature is always 37 degrees C so I guess the "surrounding" temperature for the brain is always the same no matter what the outside temperature is. However, I think the question is still interesting...any input would be appreciated.
