Ever take a big bite of ice cream and suddenly feel a sharp headache? That’s called brain freeze (or sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia — if you're feeling fancy).
It happens when something cold touches the roof of your mouth, causing blood vessels in your head to constrict and then quickly expand. This sudden change triggers pain signals that your brain interprets as coming from your forehead.
Pro Tip: Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to warm it up and stop the freeze!
