If we are talking facts, neurons don’t use electricity, it’s a cascade of released ion potentials. Thats why nerves are so much slower than electrical signals.
Humans dissipate power in the range of old tungsten lamps - on the order of 100W at rest, brains use about 20% of that, so 20W - about the same as an energy efficient globe

He should have said “power” not electricity

Hi. I’m just curious what part of the world you’re from that light bulbs are called a globe?
Cheers.
Yeah we call them light globes in Australia, as well as bulbs
