Neural Networks – An Introduction
... A neurone has a cell body, a branching input structure (the dendrIte) and a branching output structure (th axOn) –Axons connect to dendrites via synapses. –Electro-chemical signals are propagated from the dendritic input, through the cell body, and down the axon to other neurons ...
