| 1271463 | 2012-04-23 15:30:00 | ...........and it's NOT what you think .............. www.smartplanet.com It hits you suddenly, when you’re just relaxing, sipping on a Slurpee or downing some ice cream. That cold, seizing headache known as brain freeze. But, what’s happening there? What is brain freeze anyway? Turns out scientists didn’t really know what brain freeze was or how it worked until recently. Today, researchers presented their work on brain freeze at the Experimental Biology annual meeting. What they found is that the ice-cream induced headaches you feel are probably due to a change in blood flow to the brain. To figure out what was going on, researchers asked volunteers to come into the lab and intentionally give themselves brain freeze by sipping ice water through a straw. While they sat in pain, the researchers watched where the blood in their brains was flowing. They showed that the pain seemed to be related to a sudden change in blood moving in a specific part of the brain called the anterior cerebral artery. That’s one of the two main arteries in the brain, both of which supply blood to big parts of your noggin. |
