Neurons in the human brain can transmit signals at speeds up to 268 miles per hour.
The human brain’s communication system is nothing short of astounding. Neurons, the specialized cells that transmit electrical signals in the brain, can achieve impressive transmission speeds. Some neurons can send signals at speeds up to 268 miles per hour (430 kilometers per hour). This remarkable speed allows for rapid information processing and coordination of complex tasks within the brain. The brain’s intricate neural network and lightning-fast communication between neurons underpin the brain’s ability to process thoughts, emotions, and actions with unparalleled efficiency and complexity.
