““astrocytes, and Myron’s discus thrower was using his neurons. For the astrocyte to be the root of thought, it must be able to process sensory information coming from neurons. It must also be able to communicate to motor neurons to stimulate action. In the peripheral nerves, electrical impulses rapidly fire through sodium and potassium exchange to the muscles to cause contraction, electrical impulses we know as “action potentials.” Action potentials also carry information pertaining to sensory input from the body to the brain.””
