In a nutshell
The perceptron is the original artificial neuron and the ancestor of today's neural networks. It draws one straight line to separate two classes: for every point it gets wrong, it tilts the line a little toward fixing that mistake, and if a clean dividing line exists it is guaranteed to find one.

A neuron that draws one line. Every time it gets a point wrong, it tilts the line a little toward that point. If a clean line exists, it will find one.
