A simple computational unit that performs a weighted sum on incoming signals, adds a threshold or bias term to this value to yield a net input, and maps this last value through an activation function to compute its own activation. Some neurons, such as those found in feedback or Hopfield networks, will retain a portion of their previous activation....

(= neurone; nerve cell) An excitable cell specialized for the transmission of electrical signals over long distances. Neurons receive input from sensory cells or other neurons, and send output to muscles or other neurons. Neurons with sensory input are called 'sensory neurons', neurons with muscle outputs are called 'motoneurons'; neurons that connect only with other neurons are called 'interneurons'. Neurons connect with each other via synapses. Neurons can be the longest cells known; a single axon can be several metres in length. Although signals are usually sent via action potentials, some neurons are non-spiking.
