A neural network computation circuit that outputs output data according to a result of a multiply-accumulate operation between input data and connection weight coefficients, the neural network computation circuit includes computation units in each of which a memory element and a transistor are connected in series between data lines, a memory element and a transistor are connected in series between data lines, and gates of the transistors are connected to word lines. The connection weight coefficients are stored into the memory elements. A word line selection circuit places the word lines in a selection state or a non-selection state according to the input data. A determination circuit determines current values flowing in data lines to output output data. A current application circuit has a function of adjusting current values flowing in data lines, and adjusts connection weight coefficients without rewriting the memory elements.
