The artificial neural agent is when a neuron or a network is posed as an agent architecture. For example in " Cooperative Behavior of Artificial Neural Agents Based on Evolutionary Architectures" by Londei, A. ; Savastano, P. ; Belardinelli, M.O. . The objective is to put neurons on a grid and according to the evolution of the system the neuron can die, and feed. This architecture allows for the evolution of a neuronal system with similar rules to that of a cellular automata.
While the example above is one way to implement it there are other options such as having a system of many neural networks and their interactions mediated through some established mechanism to form a system. Other related areas are evolutionary nerual networks, for example take a look at the following references:
*Evolving Connectionist Systems by Nikola Kasabov
*Automatic Generation of Neural Network Architecture Using Evolutionary Computation by E. Vonk, L. C. Jain , R. P. Johnson
