What is brain-freeze?

Question

I've experienced it but am curious what actually happens to make you feel like your brain freezes when you eat something very cold, especially on a hot day.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I don't know but I love it!

EDIT:

Just searched wikipedia and its "The effect occurs when something very cold, like ice cream, touches the top palate in the mouth. The blood vessels constrict due to the cold. As the palate warms, the blood vessels suddenly enlarge and the blood rushes back to the blood vessels. The nerves in this area send a signal for pain to the front of the brain, resulting in a brief headache."
