it feels like electricity because it’s nearly instantaneous!
It takes hundreds of ms for a signal to go from your brain to your foot. Electricity on wires travels several times around the world in that time.
But for most of the distance the signals do travel as electricity. (At least the ones that get to be electricity, our brain has several kinds of signals.) It’s just a particularly slow form of electricity.
