Does the brain really freeze or does it just hurt for some other reason?

When you eat something cold, the vessels near and around your sinus cavity contract rapidly, causing pain. To stop brain freeze when it is beginning, stick your tongue to the top of your mouth. The heat from your tongue will make the vessels relax again and the pain will go away.

Are we talking about brain freeze from eating "icee's or ice cream too quickly? Guess what! Birds get them too. We feed ice cream to our cockatoos occasionally. They shake the head sideways then sneeze. It is caused from the temperature of the food being colder than the contents of the stomach.

When eating something cold, like ice cream, the cold change in temperature quickly spreads to your sinus cavities in your head and we call them 'brain freeze'.

you actually freeze your vocal chords which are in your throat. the nerves effected send impluses to your brain and for some reason they displace the pain in your head instead of your throat

Clara went into the medical professionals historical past to save lots of him, that is why she are not able to die. So the physician and Clara determined the specific ninth physician (John Hurt). And Christopher Eccleston is honestly the tenth physician and David Tennant is the eleventh Doctor and so forth. John Hurts physician used to be forgotten for the duration of the time struggle. And he gave away The Doctors mystery (his truly identify) rationale that physician used it for the duration of the time struggle. His tale can be defined extra within the fiftieth anniversary.

I don't really know the whole science of it, but I'm guessing it has to do something with the shock of the nerves.
