As discussed in the previous section, Introduction to neurons, before, ANNs had a basis in biology, and we mimic biological neurons with artificial neurons that are known as perceptrons. The perceptron is a mathematical model of a biological neuron. Later in this section, we will see how we can mimic biological neurons with artificial neurons.
As we know, the biological neuron is a brain cell. The body of the neuron has dendrites. When an electrical signal is passed from the dendrites to the body cell of the neuron, a single output or a single electrical signal comes out through an axon, and then it connects to some other neuron, as shown in the diagram of the generic neurotransmitter system that you can find in the link provided in the Introduction to neurons section. That is the basic idea we have: lots of inputs of electrical signals go through the dendrites, into the body, and then through...
