    Immune response isn’t controlled by the brain tho.

      I’m pretty sure there’s a shiny bead in your brain that regulates your temperature. Keep in mind, all my knowledge on this subject comes from Osmosis Jones.

        AFAIK (undergrad biology), immune cells release signal molecules that cause temperature increase, more or less localized and wholly independent from the nervous system.

        Closest thing I can think of is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem.

        The body may act intelligently… But not directly most related to the brain.

    I actually think your brain is the first thing to succumb to fever damage, no? Still, quality cartoon.

    What if instead of viruses or diseases killing you it was your brains increasingly escalatory responses to the virus. Basically the braining saying I’m killing this thing or I’m gonna die trying. I dont the science behind it but I’m high as.

      You’re basically describing an allergic reaction.

      There are many, many diseases caused by your own immune system attacking your body. The brain itself cannot “attack” anything unless you count seizures and the like. Maybe several forms of psychosis could fit the bill with even more stretching, but there is little your brain can do outside of interfering with bodily functions. If you seizure that hard outside of a hospital bed, you’re probably SOL in most cases.
