these facts are as cold as ice and
they’re willing to sacrifice your love
for a frozen beverages ah welcome to
watchmojo.com acts in today’s
installment we’ll be counting down the
top 5 facts about brain freeze before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content so come along as we explore this
head chilling mysterious sensation
alright everyone to number 5 it’s a
condition with many names freezer head
cold rush cranium cramp
brain freeze ha ha after the widely used
brain freeze ice cream headache is
probably the next most popular term for
this common affliction and why not if
you’re going to be in pain there’s no
point denying how you got there
while sufferers around the world love to
employ these various descriptive terms
researchers prefer to call the condition
by its sites given name spino Palatine
ganglioneuralgia and that just rolls off
the tongue verily this vichyssoise of
verbiage veers must reduce the term
might be a mouthful but like its
colloquial equivalent the ice cream
headache this name is all about accuracy
it means live pain of the Terrigal
Palatine ganglion which is a cluster of
nerve cells in the roof of the mouth and
when you just call it a brain fruit
number 4 science isn’t quite sure why it
happens they’re getting close though
the explanation behind this fleeting
brain pain has longer-dated us but in
recent years researchers have begun to
unravel its mysteries
according to dr. George Sara Dorer of
the Harvard Medical School the pain of
brain freeze results from a sudden rush
of blood to the brain
he noticed in his research that the
moment people feel this distinct
sensation the anterior cerebral artery
widens resulting in greater flow but the
question remains as to why this happens
Sara Dorer suspects that it may be the
brain’s attempt to protect itself from
extreme cold while this evolutionary
explanation is certainly compelling it
doesn’t explain why some people never
experience brain freeze while others get
it easily
brain freeze amateur number three it’s
not actually brain pain
I don’t think brain freeze is an
accurate description here for those of
us who do experience this distinct
sensations the feeling may be
short-lived
but it’s excruciating when the anterior
artery starts pumping blood however it’s
not actually hurting your brains because
the human brain doesn’t actually have
any pain receptors if we could somehow
access your brain right now without
subjecting you to all the pain of
opening your skull we could poke it and
you wouldn’t feel a thing I can feel my
brain what can feel pain is the meninges
the answer layer of membrane that covers
the brain which also happens to connect
to the anterior artery so what’s the
cure be warned it’s not an answer you’re
gonna like quite simply slow down when
eating or drinking cold stuff get us
back to the station now
Oh number two there’s a connection to
migraine but we’re not sure what hey
what I just gave me up in migraine
hey like we said science still has a lot
of work to do when it comes to all
things brain freeze honestly ice cream
headaches have never been a top research
priority we know it’s not dangerous
so why investigate further well recent
studies have drawn a link between brain
freeze and migraines and as any
individual prone to migraines will tell
you that’s worth exploring
imagine someone sawed open your heads
filled with razors and shook it as hard
as they could unfortunately the exact
nature of this relationship remains a
mystery according to a 1992 study in the
City of London migraine clinic migraine
sufferers were less prone to brain
freeze according to the Mayo Clinic
however migraine patients are allegedly
more prone to brain freeze while dr.
Sara Dorer believes that understanding
brain freeze can help us better
understand migraines others believe that
brain freeze is actually the cure okay
what a fight through there number one
it’s not medically serious but it can be
seriously distracting even if Sara Dorer
theory is correct and an ice cream
headache is the body’s attempt to
protect the brain for more it perceived
to be an extreme drop in temperature it
is a Sara Dorer putzy misfiring get me
there right now according to sinus
surgeon Stacy gray it’s unlikely that
brain freeze actually lowers the
temperature of the brain significantly
even if it were to somehow cause a sharp
drop
according to neurosurgeon Rafael tamargo
once you warm the brain up it picks
right up from where it left off it’s not
harmful at all okay strange so what’s
the real danger extraction in 2013 a San
Antonio man experienced such a brain
freeze that he lost control of his car
causing a five car accident believe it
or not tests came back negative for
alcohol so please drink slippies
responsibly
