Basic introduction to the ANN toolbox in MATLAB is discussed in this official video of Mathworks.
Here is a link of PDF book on Neural Network Toolbox For Use with MATLAB® by Howard Demuth Mark Beale
The book has 840 pages and describes the ANN in the main following chapters:
1- Neural Network Application
2- Neuron Model and Network Architectures
3- Perceptron
4- Linear Filters
5- Back Propagation
6- Control System and some more chapters
Here is a link of website lisiting 100 good videos on neural network.
So while summarizing the above notes some points of neural networks are following :
1- Neurons = nodes
2- connections = weights
3- Activation level of neuron or node
4- Learning Rules
Two kinds of learning
1- Parameter learning:- connection weights are updated
2- Structure Learning:- change in network structure
• The process of modifying the weights in the connections between network layers with the objective of achieving the expected output is called training a network.
• This is achieved through
–Supervised learning
–Unsupervised learning
–Reinforcement learning


Great collection of resources for learning ANN in MATLAB. The summary makes key concepts like neurons, weights, and learning types easy to grasp. Beginners will find this very useful. Sometimes, understanding theory is easier than implementation, so MATLAB coding assistance can really help when building and training neural network models effectively.
