Neuron
What are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the nervous system called?
Neurons
What is the electrical impulse transmitted by neurons called?
Action potential
What type of machine learning model is inspired by the structure of the human brain?
Neural network
What are the main functions of neurons?
Receive signals, process information, and transmit signals to other cells.
What is the state in which a neuron is polarized but not firing called?
Resting potential
What are the interconnected computational units in a neural network called?
Artificial neurons
How many neurons are in the human brain?
86 billion neurons
What principle states that a neuron either fires completely or does not fire at all?
All-or-nothing principle
What are the three main layers of a neural network?
Input layer, hidden layer, and output layer
How fast can neurons travel?
350 miles per hour
What happens during repolarization?
Positively charged ions leave the neuron, allowing its internal electrical charge to return to a negative state.
Which layer processes data and identifies patterns using interconnected neurons?
What does the nucleus in a neuron do?
Contains DNA and controls the cell's activities through gene expression
What is polarization?
When there is a difference in charge between the inside and outside of a neuron's membrane
What are some examples of Neural Networks?
CNNs, RNNs, and Transformer networks
