Abstract

Emulation of the operation process in the human brain was performed by Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The new comments of this study with the concept of progressive tense like an action to new Comparison ANN with Biological Neuron Network were stated against popular opinions. However, their opinions just pointed out the role of Synapse as the weights in the framework of ANN. In this paper, another concept was better suggested. The role of Synapse should be treated as the weights of ANN, which connect two neurons of two hidden different layers. There was a new proposed opinion in this study when an accurate ANN model was built with optimal weights. The role of Synapse should be both the converting the action potential into electrical energy and chemical energy and synaptic strengthening corresponding to long-term potentiation (LTP) in Biological Neuron Network. From the concept of pharmacology, the action of updating weights with optimal values after training more data, was similar as keeping a normal converting for LTP just using medicaments for resisting some ageing brain diseases e.g. Dementia. The new proposed opinion by comparing both Neural Networks should be reasonable in this study.
