| Abstract | The sense of smell, called olfaction, involves the detection and perception of different odors, and allows identifying food, mates, predators, danger etc. For both humans and animals, it is one of the important means by which they communicate with the environment. This odor-detecting system is called olfactory bulb and is located in the limbic region of the brain. Its functionality is based on neurons, primarily mitral and granule cells, and communication among them. This process is very complex and involves different types of neurotransmitters. The basic function of neurotransmitters is the realization of communication processes between neurons. Additionally, they are responsible for the efficient and accurate processing of the information, as well as for the generation of cellular changes, which corresponds to the memory functionality. In our work, we simulate the main types of chemicals of the olfactory bulb using spiking neuron model: gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha-amino-3-hydroxi-5-methylisoxasole-propionionate (AMPA). In this relatively unexplored area of research (from computing prospective), we design an architecture and experimentally analyze simulation results referring to available biological research and established biophysiological data. We provide the description of different neurotransmitters and their dynamics. The main focus of our work is to analyze the neurotransmitter effects based on the computational simulations corresponding to the biological environment in the olfactory bulb. The results of our work agree with the biological description of the simulated neurotransmitters as well as with experimental results in the biophysiological area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
