    A brain freeze can be triggered after a very cold substance consumed comes into contact with the roof of the mouth. This activates the nerves in the region, causing the blood vessels in the brain to dilate. When vessels in the brain dilate, a common effect is a headache,otherwise know as a brain freeze.So nothing actually freezes,its just the blood vessels dilating.
