Introduction to Biological Neural Network
Introduction to Biological Neural Network Biological Neuron has 3 parts as shown in figure 1. Soma or cell body:- cell nucleus is located Dendrites:- nerve connected to the cell body Axon: carries impulses of the neuron Axon end is further split into fine strands. Each strand terminates into a bulb-like organ called a synapse. Electric impulses are passed between the synapse and dendrites. Synapses are of two types – Inhibitory:- impulses hinder the firing of the receiving cell – Excitatory:- impulses cause the firing of the receiving cell Neuron fires when the total weights to receive impulses exceed the threshold value during the latent summation period. After carrying a pulse an axon fiber is in a state of complete nonexcitability for a specific time called the refractory per...
