Fitting of TC model according to key parameters affecting Parkinson's state based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm.

Biophysical models contain a large number of parameters, while the spiking characteristics of neurons are related to a few key parameters. For thalamic neurons, relay reliability is an important characteristic that affects Parkinson's state. This paper proposes a method to fit key parameters of the model based on the spiking characteristics of neurons, and improves the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm. That is, a nonlinear concave function and a Logistic chaotic mapping are combined to adjust the inertia weight of particles to avoid the particle falling into a local optimum in the search process or appearing premature convergence. In this paper, three parameters that play an important role in Parkinson's state of the thalamic cell model are selected and fitted by the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. Using the fitted parameters to reconstruct the neuron model can predict the spiking trajectories well, which verifies the effectiveness of the fitting method. By comparing the fitting results with other particle swarm optimization algorithms, it is shown that the proposed particle swarm optimization algorithm can better avoid local optima and converge to the optimal values quickly.
