Electricity travels the path of least resistance. Some parts of the body are surprisingly good insulators- since are fantastic conductors. In a healthy human body- the extremely low current created by the brain can’t jump the insulator bits- and stay in the nervous system pathways. Several neurological conditions exist where this isn’t the case.
