| 1. | any group of neurons that conduct impulses in a coordinated manner, as the assemblages of brain cells that record a visual stimulus. |
| 2. | Also called neural net. a computer model designed to simulate the behavior of biological neural networks, as in pattern recognition, language processing, and problem solving, with the goal of self-directed information processing. |

| neural network also neural net n. A real or virtual device, modeled after the human brain, in which several interconnected elements process information simultaneously, adapting and learning from past patterns. |
