The reaction is (obviously) triggered by the cold ice cream or beverage; coming into contact with the roof of the mouth. It triggers nerves that give the brain the impression of a very cold environment. To heat up the brain again, blood vessels start to swell, which causes the headache-like pain for approximately 30 seconds.

a nerve senses temperature change and causes blood flow to brain to increase to warm the brain and causes headache......

It has something to do with your palate I think. Some people (like me) don't get brain freeze because they have thicker palates or something. Hope this helps! =)
The blood in the roof of your mouth gets rapidly cooled and it causes some slight pain.

The reaction is usually triggered within a few seconds after a very cold consumed substance comes into contact with the roof of the mouth.
It's when you drink something cold like a slushie or eat an ice cream and it is colder than you expected or you ate or drank it too fast ....

Sorry i cant include a link for you....it is not a health issue, it is only a phrase used to describe something similar to a ... writers block, when a writer cannot think what to write..........a walk, or change of scenery or good book usually helps one to start thinking again..............
If some one said to you that you had "brain freeze" then they were being unkind to you and telling you that you are dumb.......dont get angry, get even.!!
Sorry no link just experience here. A brain freeze is when you drink something real cold too fast and it hurts in your head.
