Best Answer

Neural activitity makes your brain work, and allows sensations, thoughts, and decisions.

The neuron "fires" an electrical signal, due to chemical stimulation from other neurons, which releases chemicals (neurotransmitters) to repeat the process for other neurons. It is part of a chain reaction within a neural network.
