The name is an analogy, neural networks do not work in the same way as biological neurons. They were designed by computer scientists, not biologists.

RAM is so far removed from biological short term memory both in how it works and how it's used that the comparison doesn't even make sense. The only similarity is that they're short term information/data stores, so it's equally valid to compare them to a drawing in the sand of a beach.
