But the speed at which signals propagate along the axons is below the speed of sound, sometimes much below—too slow to create the millions of neuron synchronizations that are the basis for all the amazing things the brain can do.

Is there a study where this is proven? I think that would be a more interesting read than this one.

Sounds like my normal brain speed.
