The McCulloch-Pitts model, also known as the McCulloch-Pitts neuron or the threshold logic unit, is a simplified mathematical model of a biological neuron.
Developed by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in the 1940s, it was one of the earliest attempts to simulate the behavior of neural networks.
The McCulloch-Pitts model can implement basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT, making it suitable for modeling simple logical operations.
However, it has limitations in modeling complex, continuous functions, and modern artificial neural networks have evolved beyond this simplistic model.
