Abstract :
A preliminary computational model for hysterical paralysis is developed using neuro-circuitry information and systems biology principles. The model captures the salient features of the neuro-psychiatric disorder reported in the literature. Studies are on-going to model in more detail both the intra-cellular and extra-cellular features of the model, within the framework proposed.
