message: I saw that this article came up for review as a FAC. I still think it needs an overwhelming amount of work. Fortunately many of the subsections are very good so, although the task seems daunting, I am proposing the following "roadmap" towards improving the article:
Phase 1: Fact checking - there is a lot of unsourced information in the article. Much of it is very basic and should be covered by referring to a basic textbook. Other is quite esoteric. We can start doing this bit by bit and along the way.
Phase 2: Designing a better organizational scheme - the article is very disjointed and out of order. We need to decide on a better scheme (we can discuss these here) and do a major rearranging.
Phase 3: Removal of extraneous information: There is a lot of information here that does not belong in a basic article on the brain, a lot could be incorporated into other articles and especially that long list of regions could be sent to its own article.
Phase 4: Addition of helpful diagrams: We can find some on the net or we can draw our own like we did in the cerebellum article. 
Phase 5: Proofreading: Making sure the prose is clear, technical terms are explained, logic is consistent, etc. We could recruit some editors that have provided lots of help with proofreading science articles such as Tony to help out.
OK, I know this is a lot of work, but now we know where to start. Any comments?  Nrets 21:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I have been using wikipedia for a long time to look up biology, chemistry, and psychology related material and my overall impression is Wikipedia is an unparalleled tool when it comes to mass information. I am actively involved with the field of neuroscience and would like to help with this wikiproject as much as I can. The one thing I notice is there is no link to abnormal or dysfunctional neuroscience articles. These articles may or may not be accessible under various other topics (i.e. neurology), however I think it would be a good topic to add as a major link because of the universal interest people with or without esoteric neuroscientific knowledge have for odd or deviant behavior and the underlying mechanisms for those behaviors.  What is the general consensus? Niubrad 02:30, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It's late, and I'm tired, but would folks mind reading over the new lateralization of brain function article I've made? I couldn't find anything like it on Wikipedia, so I hope I didn't just waste my time and repeat myself. I'm sure there are some grammar errors and whatnot, but the facts should all be correct. Also, this is just "stuff I know" pretty well, and I don't have any good source for this stuff. I'm sure we could just put down some of Gazzaniga's books as a reference. I'll dig for some references later if no one else adds any. Cheers! Semiconscious (talk · home) 10:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Yikes...

message: So I've created :Category:Neuroimaging separate from :Category:Medical imaging and begun populating it. User:BorisTM brought up and interesting point on my talk page:
*It's a bit redundant to put an article into a category and its parent category the way you did. It can be in two or more subling categories, though. Why put "Action potential" in "Neroimaging"? If we follow the same logic we should put in that category the "Glycolysis" article as well, because glycolysis is the reason why Fluorodeoxyglucose accumulates in the neurons and allows us to see them through PET, right? What about retrograde axonal transport? Why isn't in the "Neroimaging" category?
To which I responded:
*So my personal policy on categories is that if an article belongs strongly in multiple categories, I put them in both. Action potentials are the source of signal for almost every form of neuroimaging (even fMRI potentially), and yet they're very important in the field of neuroscience entirely separate from neuroimaging. Similarly I will place someone who is an important biologist and neuroscientist into both categories, even though "neuroscientist" is a subcat of "biologist". Granted, not everyone feels this way, and if you disagree that's fine and we can continue to discuss it.
*Now, because APs are the source of several major forms of signal for neuroimaging, I chose to include it. As you pointed out, glycolysis causes the buildup of FDG, but FDG is only one type of radioligand used in one type of imaging. Reductio ad absurdum: everything should be within :Category:Atoms, but we generally choose a cut-off point. If you feel glycolysis or axoplasmic transport should be in the category of neuroimaging, you could present your arguments over on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Neuroscience for starters. I could be persuaded for axoplasmic transport more easily than glycolysis.
*Speaking of which, if you're interested in neuroscience, you should join us over there. :)
*If you'd like a more concise explanation for why I didn't put more into the category: I just created the category last night and populated it with the most obvious of articles, and I'm certain I left articles out!
So... people should add article to the neuroimaging category as they see fit. Semiconscious · talk 17:40, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Netscape, Firefox and Explorer render it barely readable, while on Opera is practically unreadable.

message: I was going to just put in a bunch of links and the PPRF redirect, and then post here hoping someone would actually create the page.
But then, you know how it is, you put in red links and a dead redirect and you worry someone's going to come along and dewikify: "Hey, that link is red!  KILL IT!  KILL IT!"  So I thought, better just put a single sentence there and a stub.  Then I realized I wasn't quite sure how to word the stub, so I reached over to the shelf and grabbed a textbook.
Forty minutes later: PPRF.  I'd welcome input (especially a good public-domain picture, either a section through the relevant pontine level, or a functional wiring schematic.)  I'm also, though, rather proud of the article.  So I present it to you as an example of how I think it ought to be done.

Perhaps this WikiProject could use this challenge as an opportunity to collaborate on four neuroscience articles and attempt to bring them up to scratch in time. I would suggest we choose four important articles from the category, but four articles which are also diverse: a biography, a cell, a field of study, &c. As an example, Franz Nissl, oligodendrocyte and grey matter are all in this category. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

thread_title: Image categorization

message: I'm considering cleaning up :Category:Neuroscience so as to give it a more intuitive structure, removing much of the clutter with which it is laden. This will involve moving many of the immediate subcategories (such as :Category:Neuroanatomy) into more specific categories such as :Category:Neuroscience disciplines or :Category:Disciplines within neuroscience. Another example of this is the moving of :Category:Neurotrophins into a category such as :Category:Neurochemistry or even a subcategory of Neurochemistry such as :Category:Neurochemicals.
This is all fairly simple but there is a particular thing I was wondering about. :Category:Magnetoencephalography is currently in four categories: Medical tests | Neurology | Neuroscience | Neuroimaging. There seems to be a substantial overlap here. For example, why does it need to be in both Neuroimaging and Neuroimaging's father categories, neuroscience and medical tests. Optimally, Cat:Meg... would be in Cat:Neuroimaging. While Cat:Neuroimaging is in Cat:Neuroscience and Cat:Neurological tests. Cat:Neurological tests would be in Cat:Medical tests and Cat:Neurology (which itself is in Cat:Neuroscience. Is my model of general-to-specific appropriate for Neuroscience categorisation?
