What Causes A Brain Freeze?
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | River Valley | | City: | Fredericton, NB | | School: | Albert Street Middle School | | Abstract: | This project explains what causes a brain freeze and demonstrates how common they are. Fifty subjects were tested and it was discovered that 78% of them experienced brain freezes and that they are more common when the palate is exposed. Brain freezes occur when a cold substance is consumed quickly and the body reacts by dilating the blood vessels which causes the pain. |
