It is super fast! There is a very good example for this actually. If you ever burned your hand by touching the hot pan or sth, you will know.
When you touch the hot pan, the nerve cells on tour fingers feel it and they carry this message super fast to your brain. Your brain processes this information and tells your body to move the hand away.
So, this whole conversation between the nerve cells and your brain happens within miliseconds and it is super fast! 🙂 faster than a Formula 1 racing car!! 🙂
Himm, not when we are alive, no:) It can severely shrink though as a result of some degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or even drinking too much alcohol can lead to shrunken brains!
