Neuron Model

Era: Early Theory · 1930s–1950s

Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published "A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity", introducing the first artificial neuron model (McCulloch-Pitts neuron). This model simplified neurons to binary threshold switches, laying the foundation for later neural network research.
