Abstract

We studied the possibility of using microwave radiothermometry of the brain in biorhythmology. It was found that the temperature variability of the frontal lobes of the right and left hemispheres strictly corresponded to the 24-h cycle was characterized by the oscillation amplitude of 1.2-1.4°C, which significantly exceeded the amplitude of the basal temperature. A conclusion was made about the informative value of the method of noninvasive registration of the 24-h dynamics of the brain temperature.

Keywords: brain temperature; circadian rhythms; microwave radiothermometry.
