A method for screening a test compound for potential efficacy in treatment
of a disorder includes creating a first computer model representative of
a volume of disease-afflicted neural tissue exposed to the test compound;
and providing an initial excitation to the first computer model.
Following a selected computation interval, a first outcome is determined.
The first outcome indicates a response of the first computer model to the
initial excitation and indicates whether the test compound has the
potential to be effective in treating the disorder.
