humanbenchmark.com/dashboard this has loads of different cognitive tests. I use a shared spreadsheet to collect reaction times from 10 repeats for each student at GCSE. I then anonymise and have yr 13 number crunch it based on different characteristics

I can’t say I’ve got lots on neuronal, I’m spending a lot of time with content content content in this module at KS5 - but at GCSE I will get them to use the classic speed question to try and work out the pace of a neuronal message. Then ask why it’s slower than the real value
