Abstract

In this study, we introduce an innovative hybrid artificial neural network model incorporating astrocyte-driven short-term memory. The model combines a convolutional neural network with dynamic models of short-term synaptic plasticity and astrocytic modulation of synaptic transmission. The model's performance was evaluated using simulated data from visual change detection experiments conducted on mice. Comparisons were made between the proposed model, a recurrent neural network simulating short-term memory based on sustained neural activity, and a feedforward neural network with short-term synaptic depression (STPNet) trained to achieve the same performance level as the mice. The results revealed that incorporating astrocytic modulation of synaptic transmission enhanced the model's performance.
