   You are assuming that the chemicals used for Titanian   
   neurosystems would have to behave at Titanian temperatures   
   like those for Terrestrial systems do.  There is a problem   
   for organisms to have too high a neurological reaction   
   rate, and ours has adapted to our environment.   
      
   I doubt that Titanian organic chemistry would be that   
   similar to Terrestrial.  It is possible that their   
   biological systems may be functionally similar, but   
   not use the same chemicals.
