A pulse is fast. A thought is a network.
Simplified constant-speed path. Real conduction also depends on diameter, myelin, temperature, ion channels, synapses, and anatomy.

time = distance / speed. Doubling distance doubles time; doubling speed halves it.
time = distance / speed. Doubling distance doubles time; doubling speed halves it.
