Other systems, like the [LSTM](/03-sequence-modeling/02-lstm/02-lstm.ipynb) and [Attention](/03-sequence-modeling/06-attention/02-attention.ipynb) mechanisms appear to draw from neuroscientific concepts (memory and attention) on a surface level, although in reality, their implementations are more motivated by the math of neural networks and engineering to specific problems rather than they are directly modeled after the brain.

For example, the LSTM design is perfectly engineering to address the vanishing & exploding gradients problem in RNNs, and it happens that a long-term memory based system is an effective way to fix this problem.

This pattern suggests that rather than taking direct inspiration from neuroscience, **deep learning may have converged on similar approaches to how nature has built intelligence in the brain, partly through first principles.**
