Answer:
hey mate... here's your answer
Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (or 'brain-freeze') is a painful condition similar to a migraine, that arises due to your bodys natural reaction to cold temperatures.
When you get cold, your body undergoes a series of changes designed to prevent heat loss. One of these adaptations is the constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) close to the surface of the skin. With less blood flowing near to your skin, less heat is lost to the surroundings and you stay warmer for longer.
When something really cold hits the back of your mouth, the blood vesselts in your palate rapidly constrict. When you swallow, the cold goes away and the same blood vessels rapidly dilate back to their original size. All of this is a perfectly normal physiological response to the cold.
The pain is caused by a misinterpretation of this constriction/dilation by the trigeminal nerve - a major facial nerve that is positioned very close to your palate. The pain seems to come from your forehead because of the location of the trigeminal nerve (shown in the diagram)
