## A Model of a Neuron
From biology we know that our brain consists of neural cells, each of them having multiple "inputs" (axons), and an output (dendrite). Axons and dendrites can conduct electrical signals, and connections between axons and dendrites can exhibit different degrees of conductivity (controlled by neuromediators).
From biology, we know that our brain consists of neural cells (neurons), each of them having multiple "inputs" (dendrites) and a single "output" (axon). Both dendrites and axons can conduct electrical signals, and the connections between them — known as synapses — can exhibit varying degrees of conductivity, which are regulated by neurotransmitters.
