I have the great pleasure to congratulate you for your effort made to accomplish the work "Computational model of obsessive-compulsive disorder: Examination of etiologic hypothesis and treatment" appeared in 1998.
Probably you'll be wondered why these congratulations are coming so late (in fact three years after the appearance. We thought that this is a must because your work was one of those who raised in our minds the idea of a combination between the medical knowledge and the computers ones in order to realize certain "models" able to simulate the synaptic processes.
With the condition of keeping the functional parameters of the intrasynaptic processes, the models we designed on the computer represents not only an excellent teaching material but also a good help into the theoretical audit of certain hypothesis and definitely not only that. On the other hand, if the present 3D movie is animated using only geometric elements, in the close future we'll be able to realize the same thing using 3D photocopies of the neuronal subcellular structures and even of the synaptic ones, in this moment being almost ready a prime version of such software.
We'll be very glad that you'll be so kind to express your opinion regarding our work and about what we tried to realize. Your suggestions will certainly have a role in the improvement of the quality of our work.
Thanking in advance, we are looking forward for your reply.
Respectfully yours,
Dr.Virgil SIMIONESCU
