The present invention relates to an artificial neuron based on quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules, and a method for manufacturing the same, the artificial neuron comprising: a sensor for detecting a particular neurotransmitter by using the principle of quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules; a transistor for inducing a neuron action potential when the phenomenon of quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules occurs; and a duct for supplying a neurotransmitter to a receptor of a neuron when the phenomenon of quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules occurs. The present invention can sensitively detect a particular neurotransmitter on the basis of quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules. The artificial neuron of the present invention, which is based on quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules, has biocompatible properties and can thus be used to detect neurotransmitters in vivo or in vitro. The artificial neuron of the present invention, which is based on quantum quenching of photoluminescence molecules, sensitively responds to neurotransmitters and, in response thereto, induces a neuron action potential, and can thus be used as a neuron substitute.
