algorithm that’s been modelled after the real world structure and behaviour of neurons and how they process signals

Except the Neural Net model doesn't actually reproduce everything real, living neurons do. A mathematician in the 70s said, "hey what if this is how brains work?" He didn't actually study brains, he just put forward a model. It's a useful model. But it's also an extreme misrepresentation to say it approximates actual neurons.
