Neuron (Machine Learning)

Neurons in a NN are similar to those in a brain as they are connected to each other and can send and receive signals.

They may be represented as a linear/logistic regression which receives input, applies a transformation on that input, and produces an output. They are connected to each other through a network of edges, thought of as pathways for information to flow through the network.

This is akin to how biological neurons are connected and communicate with each other.
