Neural networks as a tool for modeling of biological systems

Abstract Neural networks become very popular as a tool for modeling of numerous systems, including technological, economical, sociological, psychological, and even political ones. On the contrary, neural networks are models of neural structures and neural processes observed in a real brain. However, for modeling of real neural structures and real neural processes occurring in a living brain, neural networks are too simplified and too primitive. Nevertheless, neural networks can be used for modeling the behavior of many biological systems and structures. Such models are not useful for explanation, taking into account the biological systems and processes, but can be very useful for the analysis of such system behavior, including the prognosis of future results of selected activities (e.g. the prognosis of results of different therapies for modeled illnesses). In this paper, selected examples of such models and their applications are presented.
