Healthy human brains are hotter than previously thought, and can regularly exceed 40°C, according to new study. The study also found that brain temperature drops at night before you go to sleep and rises during the day, reported The Metro.

In healthy men and women, the average brain temperature is 38.5°C. However, deeper brain regions can often be hotter than 40°C, particularly in women during the daytime.
