Before going ahead, first, we will explore what are neurons and how neurons in our brain actually work, and then we will learn about artificial neurons.
A neuron can be defined as the basic computational unit of the human brain. Neurons are the fundamental units of our brain and nervous system. Our brain encompasses approximately 100 billion neurons. Each and every neuron is connected to one another through a structure called a synapse, which is accountable for receiving input from the external environment, sensory organs for sending motor instructions to our muscles, and for performing other activities.
A neuron can also receive inputs from the other neurons through a branchlike structure called a dendrite. These inputs are strengthened or weakened; that is, they are weighted according to their importance and then they are summed together in...
