A)it receives more than 10 "exciting" messages.
B)the number of "inhibiting" messages is half or less than the number of "exciting" messages.
C)"exciting" messages arrive close in time and are not canceled by "inhibiting" messages.
D)"inhibiting" messages arrive close in time and are not canceled by "exciting" messages.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons in a neural network make decisions based on the balance and timing of incoming signals. A neuron is more likely to reach its trigger point and activate when it receives multiple "exciting" messages that are close in time, especially if these are not negated by "inhibiting" messages. This mimics the way biological neurons process signals, where the temporal proximity and balance between excitatory and inhibitory inputs determine whether a neuron will fire.
