They are 'electrical impulses'.

So they move at the speed of electricity. It is believed they travel at the speed of 127 mph.

They say that thick axons can produce speeds up to about 100 meters per second. In miles per hour that would mean roughly 225.

They don't move, they produce electrons which travel through synapses. The nerve cell (or neuron) doesn't move.

That's a stupid question because it wouldn't ever be measured in miles per hour!?! Neurons transmit signals to and from the brains in a matter of seconds!
