Yup, the "brain neurons = neural networks" is exactly the mental model I always fall back on as a shortcut. (Unspririsingly, since that's basically the analogy most commonly used.) I also never stopped to consider that there might not be a feedback loop in a neural networks.

Looking forward to the next chapter.
