1. A method for developing a computer model of a generic receptor, comprising: (a)(i) identifying a plurality of biological processes related to a synapse; and (a)(ii)combining the plurality of biological processes to form a quantitative simulation of the functional concentration of a pharmacological agent in the synapse; or (b)(i) identifying a plurality of biological processes related to a region within a brain, the plurality of biological processes including at least one biological process related to neuronal activity; and (b)(ii) combining the plurality of biological processes to form a simulation of activity of the region.
