Synapse
When a neuron receives enough electric
pulses through its dendrites, it activates and
fires a pulse through its axon, which is then
received by other neurons. In this way
information can propagate through the NN.
The synaptic connections change throughout
the lifetime of a neuron and the amount of
incoming pulses needed to activate a neuron
(the threshold) also change. This behavior
allows the NN to learn

Types of Connections/Architectures
The neurons should be visualized for their
arrangements in layers. An ANN consists of a set of
highly interconnected processing elements (nodes or
units or neurons) such that each processing element
output is found to be connected through weights to
the other processing elements or to itself, delay lead
and lag-free are allowed.
The arrangement of neuron to form layers and the
connection pattern formed within and between
layers is called the network architecture.
