Best Answer

The cells in your brain are called neurons. The White Matter of your brain is composed of neurons that have a myelin sheath on them (this makes the impulse travel faster). The myelin sheath is made up of lipids (fats). Fat melts when it gets hot. So, essentially, if your brain gets too hot, it will melt. That would be bad.
