"Because of the increasing number of scientists who study the nervous system, several prominent neuroscience organizations have been formed to provide a forum to all neuroscientists and educators."

"Our basic computational element (model neuron) is often called a node or unit. It receives input from some other units, or perhaps from an external source. Each input has an associated weight w, which can be modified so as to model synaptic learning." This is a simple and brief article, but I think that a better understanding of neuroscience and how neurons work will help us to better grasp what research is being done regarding AI. This is an important research category, because if we wish to recreate ourselves on a scale of intelligence, we will need to better analyze our neural relays and systems. Apparently, according to Kaku's book, it is a very complicated endeavor that has been met so far with limited success. Hopefully, we can better understand the basics of neuron structure and function with this article.

"When X-rays interact with matter, they do one of three things: Pass through the object Get absorbed by the object Scatter from the object"
