absolute beginner

[Gernot . Ernst]

Hi,

I am an anesthesiologist specialized in pain treatment, working in a hospital 
in 
Norway. There are  alot of arguments that the sensory (pain) system acts as 
vomplex network including up to today more than 20 major and several minor 
receptor subsystems and a rather complicated network structure.

I became interested therefore in the complexity/simulation area and dream of 
models where I can simulate pain chronification and so on.

There are to points today.

First

Are there scientists who are working currently with simulations of more 
peripheral 
nerve networks, for example in the medulla or in the dorsal horn ?

Second

I am BEGINNER. Somne experience in computer programming (I am a 
Commodore PET Veteran), but wasn't active in the field since years. No 
experience with Linux and what so ever.

I was able to install the stable swarm package, but have problems to get all 
the 
other program packages. Does anyone has a cd with all this and could  make a 
copy ? Has anyone time and interest to help (only a theoretical question) ?
