Hemodynamic responses of the prefrontal cortex following cold water immersion during an eyes-closed balance assessment
The demands of thermoregulation and balance maintenance following CWI resulted in distinct cerebral hemodynamic patterns which potentially reflected increased neural demand during the tasks. Increase in HHb and decrease in O<sub>2</sub>Hb suggest a unique response during the refractory period between the CWI and balance assessment that may reflect competing thermoregulatory processes associated with rewarming.
