Abstract
The mathematical simulations are provided for the development of devices and/or methods for medical brain hypothermal treatment. The mathematical model reflecting thermal property of human head was presented as a group of particles consisting of small nodes. By using our mathematical model of head, a new appropriate brain cooling pattern is proposed for the temperature control in selective brain hypothermia, when its temperature rises owing to the increasing productive and accumulating heat by brain injuries. The clinical effectiveness of the new cooling pattern with less consumption of energy is given for the control of brain temperature by using our model of particles of nodes.
