Here’s a thought: What IS a thought? I know it involves my brain, and my brain is made of neurons. And my brain’s neurons are listening to other neurons all over my body. But how do those neurons actually work? Maybe you’ve heard that it involves electricity, but does that mean you’ve got little zaps and lightning bolts running through your veins like Pikachu? Don’t worry, I’m here to set you straight on what a neuron is, what an action potential is, and how fast your nervous system really communicates.

If we run on electricity does that make us all cyborgs? 🤔 Let me know what you thought of the video and tag me on Instagram and Twitter when you share! @DrJoeHanson @okaytobesmart

"Neurons have to be the most amazing cells in your entire body" -- said the organ with neurons.
-
The most shocking thing in this video is I just learned that roaches can regrow legs..
-
"That's a sick beat man..." "Thinks about existence "
-
10:55 Cockroach: You're pulling my leg! Joe: No I'm not
-
I'm getting my PhD in neuroscience and describing a neuron as a bananna in the ocean made me laugh wayyy too hard
-
This is one of those 19-minute videos on YT that won't waste anyone's time.
-
10:00 imaging a leg lying somewhere with a couple of wires hooked up and all of a sudden you hear music and the leag starts dancing to the music😨
-
Action potential and its graph were really hard to understand when I first learned it in the pages of book. Your video explanation is very appreciated because it shall help others who shall learn it by now.
-
No other cell: A bunch of neurons: That's why Neurons are the most amazing cells of the body.
-
I understood "nerd cell" instead of "nerve cell" and it took me a while to figure out because it made total sense to me
-
Just after watching one video, I concluded your content is so fascinating, informative and well presented that I subscribed. Nicely done
-
You are improving the world my friend! I found the video very informative, easy to understand due to demonstrations. Nice work!
-
I am 46, taking science since the 7th grade, teaching sciences at a University. For the first time in my life, I understand how bio electricity works. You did a great job!

10:12 Pain
-
10:24 We just replicated one of the first speakers
-
I LOVE Joe’s child-like amazement at all things science. Thank you to Joe and the whole Be Smart team, for reigniting the scientific “spark” in me and my kids! Don’t ever stop making these videos!
-
Aliens ripping out half our livers: "don't worry, they grow back."
-
It took you 16 minutes to explain successfully what my college teacher couldn’t in 3 classes of 4 hours each. And that’s what quality teaching is all about. Thanks, man!

I really could have used this video a couple of years ago in phisiology and biophysics classes... it took me weeks to learn this as it was teached in uni... and here it is nicely explained. this is gold.
