Inference to the best manipulation – a case study of qualitative reasoning in neuropharmacy
Foundations of Science 4 (4):483-495 (1999)
| Abstract | How can new drug lead suggestions beinferred from neurophysiological models? This paperaddresses this question based on a case study ofresearch into Parkinson''s disease at the GroningenUniversity Department of Pharmacy. It is argued thatneurophysiological box-and-arrow models can beunderstood as qualitative differential equationmodels. An inference task is defined to helpunderstand and possibly aid the discovery andexplanation of new drug lead suggestions. | |||||||||
