message: Brain Region Found to Control Aging
Cai and his team have found that an immune system pathway in the hypothalamus also has a role in controlling aging. Usually, the immune system is involved in fending off infection or damage, but studies have also linked inflammatory changes with age-related conditions

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section "Sexual orientation" previously stated: "Sex hormones that work on the developing fetal brain determine sexual orientation."  With the reference: Lenz KM, McCarthy MM (December 2010). "Organized for sex - steroid hormones and the developing hypothalamus". The European Journal of Neuroscience. 32 (12): 2096–104. doi:10.1111/j.1460-9568.2010.07511.x. PMC 5350613. PMID 21143664.
However, that rather bold claim cannot be found in the reference, nor can anything really even close to that be found in the given reference.  Also the terminology "hormones that work on" doesn't sound very scientific.  I edited to change the sentence to "Sex hormones that affect the developing fetal brain may have a role in determining sexual orientation."  However, that's still not really what the reference was exactly saying, but it's at least a little bit closer.  For example, the terms "sexual orientation", "sexual preference", "homosexuality", "heterosexuality", and even just the word "orientation" do not appear at all in the article.  There is mention of "partner preference", but it does not appear to be specifically talking about that in the context of which gender of partner is preferred.  
The section "sexual orientation" in this article really needs some work.  There is definitely relevant research that has been done regarding the hypothalamus and sexual orientation, but nothing so conclusive as was suggested by the sentence before I changed it.  If anyone is able to willing to add to the section, and especially to add more pertinent references that can be accurately summarized without bias, that would be good. 
Editing to add:  Looking back at previous versions of the article, I see that the section "sexual orientation" used to be much longer and had several different references.  I'm not sure why it was changed to just one sentence and just one reference.  Perhaps it should be reverted back to how it was before? Vontheri (talk) 10:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
