Deep learning algorithms mimic the neural architecture found in the human brain. If we were to study a single natural neuron in the human brain, we would find three primary areas of interest, as illustrated in Figure 3.4:
Figure 3.4: A natural neuron
Dendrites receive chemical signals and electrical impulses from other neurons that are collected and aggregated in the cell body. The nucleus, found within the cell body, is the control center of the neuron and is responsible for regulating cell functions, producing the proteins required to build new dendrites and for making the neurotransmitter chemicals used as signals. Signals ...
