Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells.During waking hours,new learning can strengthen the connections.You can think of knowledge acquired over a long time as a group of wel...
Understanding neural circuitry involved in human locomotor behavior depends on inferences due to the difficulty in making direct measures. In this chapter, we provide a brief history of the inferences that have been drawn from observations in other animals, highlight the mechanistic conservation ...
Now that we've laid the groundwork for how neural networks function, we can start to look at some of the specifics. The basic structure of an artificial neural network looks like this: Each of the circles is called a "node" and it simulates a single neuron. On the left are input no...
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)The SNN is NOT an RNN, despite it evolves through time too. For this SNN to be an RNN, I believe it would require some more connections such as from the outputs back into the inputs. In fact, RNNs are defined as a function of some inp...
Neuroplasticity is at work throughout life. Connections within the brain are constantly becoming stronger or weaker, depending on what is being used. Younger people change easily; their brains are very plastic. As we age change doesn’t come as easily; the brain loses some of its plasticity an...
A simple neural network includes an input layer, an output (or target) layer and, in between, a hidden layer. The layers are connected via nodes, and these connections form a “network” – the neural network – of interconnected nodes. A node is patterned after a neuron in a human bra...
The four most common types of machine learning are supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforced. Popular types of machine learning algorithms include neural networks, decision trees, clustering, and random forests. Common machine learning use cases in business include object identification and...

To work at all, the nervous system needs its cells, or neurons, to connect and converse in a language of electrical impulses and chemical neurotransmitters. For the brain to be able to learn and adapt, it needs the connections, called synapses, to be able to strengthen or weaken. A new ...
Neural networks are a series of algorithms that mimic the operations of an animal brain to recognize relationships between vast amounts of data. As such, they tend to resemble the connections of neurons and synapses found in the brain.
