Messages to the Brain From the Nerves Travel at Neck-Break Speeds
The human brain is often called the fastest computer in the world. It has earned this name because of the sheer amount of information the brain processes per time. The human brain can see pictures and process sound and taste simultaneously without freezing or crashing. No computer in the world comes close to that amount of power.
While the brain takes all the glory, we should not forget the nerves constantly firing signals to the brain. Signals to the brain can travel slow or fast. At slow speeds, the signals travel at one mph, while at fast speeds, it travels 268 mph. The quickest nerve impulses that have even been recorded were at 288 mph.
