Modeling of Serotonin Behavior in Major Depressive Disorder: Fuzzy Logic Approach

摘要

According to the world health organization, major depressive disorder (MDD) is considered as the fourth main cause of death and premature weakness in the whole world. Abnormality in the neurotransmitters level is the one of the main factors which may result in this disorder. In this article serotonin is chosen among these neurotransmitters, which is the most implicated in the pathophysiology of the major depression and because the assessment of serotonin is of the crucial important, the fuzzy logic approach is described for making serotonin model. In this paper, three effective factors on serotonin are modeled by fuzzy logic. This model is only a part of our project which is performed for modeling of the major depression.
