Below, an image that depicts the human neuron:

The McCulloch-Pitts neuron works like a logic gate, where:

  • The dendrites are the inputs
  • The axon is the output that can be linked to other neurons
  • The nucleus of the cell receives all the inputs

Furthermore, if the accumulated signal, in the nucleus, exceeds a threshold an output signal is generated and that will be passed on by the axon.

A logic schema below:

Where:

  • x1, x2 … xn are the input values
  • w1, w2 … wn  are the weights on each inputs
  • sum = x1 * w1 + x2 * w2 + … + xn * wn 
  • if sum > threshold output is 1 (or true) else it is 0 or (false)
