That is, computations are performed by the network by the activation (or inhibition) of units increasing (or decreasing) the strength of the connections between them.
in this part, I do not know what is the role of "increasing (or decreasing) the strength of the connections between them".
does the paragraph mean "increasing ..." is the result of activation of units?
or activation of units happens by means of "increasing ..."? or activation of units and "increasing ..." are the same thing?

It's a little cryptic. Insert "achieved, respectively, by":
... by the activation or inhibition of units, achieved, respectively, by increasing or decreasing the strength of the connections between them.
Increase of strength of connections between units -> activation of units
decrease of strength of connections between units -> inhibition of units
P.S. It is quite possible that the participle clause headed by increasing is a result, not a cause. But there is no sure way to know without further context. It could be that this is a (simulated?) neural network where connections are strengthened by activation/use or weakened by deactivation/non-use. This reading is probably the better choice as it does not involve ellipsis.

"Insert" in your mind so that you may understand. My reading is based on the parallelism of the parenthetic remarks: (or inhibition)....(or decreasing). The original could also benefit from a comma placed after "units".

The meaning of the sentence involves positive and negative modes of "self-regulation". Positive inputs (units) thus strengthen the connections between them while negative inputs (units) likewise weaken the same connections. It is the same concept as "autoregulation" is used in living (biological) systems.
