The Computational Simulation of the Effect of Dopamine on Short-Term and Long-Term Memory

The C-W model combines the recurrent neural network with intrinsic cellular bistability. Afterward, some research reports the effect of dopamine on working memory via replacing this intrinsic bistability with basal ganglia mechanism. In this study, our goal was to further research the effect of dopamine on short-term memory and long-term memory. Our study is based on integrating the model of striatal dopamine model and single neuron network. The results of the study found that the firing activity of the network and the value of dopamine are correlated. The higher the blood levels of dopamine, the longer the duration of network activity.
