Neural network models mimic the behavior of real dendrites Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, are complex computers by themselves. They receive input signals on a tree-like structure - the dendrite. This structure does more than simply collect the input signals: it integrates and compares them to find those special combinations that are important for the neurons role in the brain. Moreover, the dendrites of neurons come in a variety of shapes and forms, indicating that distinct neuron...
