Hi,
IIRC nerve cells conduct through a process of K+ Na+ exchange. I
don't think
they are electrically very conducting, hence any such signal would
likely be
heavily damped, and result mostly in heat. The considerable
processing power of
the human brain is due primarily to vast parallel processing,
rather than a
"fast" processor.
You assume here electrolytic conduction by ions. Conduction at
microwave frequencies is by surface wave.
Best regards,
