Are Neural Networks Really Similar To The Brain?

Deep learning has made tremendous progress in various fields such as image recognition, natural language processing, and machine translation. Many of the techniques used in modern deep learning were inspired by biological systems, such as the structure of the brain and the way it processes information. However, it is also true that some of the techniques that were once thought to be biologically inspired have been largely abandoned in favor of newer techniques that have proven to be more effective.
