Now, once we put on myelin, information transfers much much faster.
It can go between 2 and 120 meters per second.
If it goes at 120 meters per second, the whole game is over.
Information is gone from here to here in 12 milliseconds.
.012 seconds.
So very short time, in perceptible to us.
And that is a, obviously a very useful thing, so
that we can get information in time to actually use it.
So, the information that we need the,
the fastest is information about keeping our balance.
And so, as we walk along, if we bump
into something and we stumble, we need that information fast.
If we had to wait for a second or two, we'd be on the ground.
All the neurons that support our posture
against gravity, those neurons transfer information really fast.
Alright, so let's talk a little bit
more about the information that gets transferred.
That information occurs in, it's a 0 or a 1.
