The Electric Dance of Your Body

Your body is basically electric. Every thought, every move, is a tiny electrical

storm inside your neurons. These cells are like charged batteries, thanks to a pump

constantly working in the background. When a stimulus hits—BAM—special gates fly open.

Ions flood in, creating an electrical wave called an action potential that zips down the neuron

at insane speeds. This signal then tells your muscles to flex or your brain to process

information. It’s this perfectly timed electrical dance that makes you,

you. From a simple reflex to a complex thought, it’s all just zaps and chemicals.
