It
  is
   generally
    accepted
       that most,
        if not all,
          functions
             of the
            brain,
              such as
                  perception,
                     thought,
                     learning,
                        are a result of
                           its architecture
                             as a highly
                                connected
                                  network
                                       of neurons.

                                           The
                                         Internet
                                     is made
                                up of
                         tens of millions
                    of computers
                    that communicate
                  with each other
               through electrical
               cables or
         wireless
signals.

      Web pages
          in the role
               of neurons,
                   and hyperlinks
                    as synapses
                           that direct
                      the flow of
                    information
                     from one
                 page
              to the next.

Synapses,
          the junctions
               between dendrites
                       and axons of
                                  one neuron and
                                           the body of
                                          another neuron,
                                              mediate the
                                                    signal transfer,
                                                  or information transfer,
                                                          between neurons
                                                               through an
                                                                        electric current or
                                                                              release of
                                                                             neurotransmitters.

                                            Input received
                                        by the
                               neuron might
                            in turn
                    cause it to fire,
                    that is to
                   trigger
                   information
          to flow to the
      neuron it is
connected to.
