title: A neuron model based on brain biochemical principles.
abstract: The electrical activity and excitation of the brain is based on certain biochemical processes, particularly, the activity of transmitter-receptor-ion channel system and the DNA-RNA-Pr (Pr:protein) system. There have already been some neuron models relating to the ion channel, but the kinds and numbers of transmitters, receptors, and ion channels are directly or indirectly conditioned by the DNA-RNA-Pr system. To reflect these facts, we present a new neuron model based on the important biochemical chains of the brain. This model is applied to both the simulation research of electrical activity and the information processing function of the brain. In this demonstration, we will introduce: 1) How to express the connection between the neuron excitation and the transmitter-receptor-ion channel system; 2) How to express the connection between the transmitter-receptor-ion channel system of neuron and the DNA-RNA-Pr system; 3) How to express the connection among 16,000 artificial neurons on the basis of the above-mentioned points; 4) The time and the state of the excitation passing through a particular neuron in a group of neurons.
