== Biological Neural Networks ==

* brain consists of '''gray matter''' and '''white matter'''
** gray matter is mostly collection of neurons
** white matter is mostly collection of myelinated (surrounded by matter like insulation) axons
* gray matter can be in form of '''cortex''' or '''nucleus'''
** in cortex neurons are layered
** in nucleus neurons are organized like cashew nuts inside a bowl
* cortex can be of different types
** '''neocortex''', often called '''cerebral cortex'''
** allocortex
** mesocortex
