Did you know that your brain can send information to your cells as fast as 268 miles per hour?
An electrical impulse is produced when a neuron is triggered and it moves from cell to cell. Signals are received at the dendrites of neurons and travels across the synapse. As you can tell sending and receiving information is a complex process even though it happens in milliseconds.
An epileptic seizure may result from an interruption in this usual processing.
No wonder humans are such fast thinkers!
