Brain Freeze is the reaction to very cold stuff hitting the taste sensory areas of the mouth. This causes the the brain to overcompensate blood flow in the head, rapidly sending it to the cold source to provide heat. Ergo, causing extreme pain in the upper head area, aka, a headache.

Brain freeze is a spliting instant headache you get when you eat something cold too fast. For instance, if you take a large bite of ice cream, sometimes when it hits the roof of your mouth, the front part of your head all of sudden goes "ow" for about 30 seconds because it's too much cold for your body to handle all at once.
Here's a link you can go to for a bit more info.

It says that the cause is a dilation of blood vessels in the head, possibly caused by a nerve center located at the roof of your mouth. When that gets cold, it overreacts and tries to heat your brain.

its when you eat ice cream or ice drinks or anything ice cold and you put too much in your mouth it goes straight to your head this i think is a brain freeze so if you do eat a lot of ice cream or ice drinks eat or drink them slowly

I think its just what authors would call writers block. When you just can't think of any thing. There can be many causes, such as, sorry I've got writers block.
