In 1943, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published a seminal paper that described the first attempt to provide a mathematical model of a neuron (McCulloch and Pitts, 1943). This work explored the properties of networks of such mathematical neurons in...

An artificial neuron, also called semi-linear unit, Nv neuron, binary neuron or McCulloch-Pitts neuron, is an abstraction of biological neurons and the basic unit in an artificial neural network. The Artificial Neuron receives one or more inputs...
