摘要

Establishing concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during learning is an important step toward understanding the basic properties of communication between neurons. A variety of attempts have been made by researchers in various fields, such as neuroscience, pharmacology, toxicology, immunology, and psychology, to find the neurotransmitter concentration in various scenarios, such as synaptic transmission, homeostasis, and psychiatric conditions. However, due to the complex structure of the brain, the general method based on the concentration of neurotransmitters in continuous, large-scale, and simultaneous measurement across multiple neurotransmitters during learning remains challenging. Inspired by that, this study proposes a new computational model that uses consciousness-driven plasticity metrics along with various factors like release rate, reuptake rate, and degradation rate to analyze the neurotransmitter concentration during learning using a spiking neural network. The simulated neurotransmitter concentrations (in milliMolar) for the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets on the proposed model are [0.12, 0.18] and [0.0, 0.04] for dopamine, [0.0, 0.16] and [0.28, 0.46] for norepinephrine, [0.0, 0.10] and [0.29, 0.39] for acetylcholine, [0.0, 0.12] and [0.20, 0.33] for serotonin, [0.02, 0.27] and [0.73, 1.11] for glutamate, and [4.81, 7.19] and [5.19, 7.35] for GABA, respectively. These values closely align with biological values. Also, the quantitative correlation analysis is being performed for the model to provide biological alignment of the model.
