Action potentials travel in one direction because of the refractory period, which prevents the neuron from firing again immediately after an action potential has been generated. This ensures that the signal moves in a linear fashion along the neuron.

Firing Pin Block
A wave of depolarization occurs when there is a sudden influx of positive ions, typically sodium ions, into the neuron, leading to a reversal of the cell's membrane potential. This helps in transmitting electrical signals along the neuron through a process known as action potential propagation.

When a guy moves his head from resting on your knee higher to you thigh, then your pelvis, he is being suggestive, and stop him if you are uncomfortable with it.

an action potential moves along the neuron
The electrical impulse travels into the dendrites, the "input" of the neuron, and into the soma or "body" where the signal gets processed. From there, the processed signal travels down the axon or "output" and into the dendrites of another neuron.
