ELI5: is there a unit of Neuro signal to the brain, similar to "gigabit" and "megabit" and rate per second?

Not really, no. Some very long neurons (like one from the base of the spine to the foot) propagate signals very quickly on the order of 100+ meters per second. But as far as storage capacity, researchers use digital-world units (like petabytes)... which are basically guesstimates.
