Hey there! I'm Flooded with them hundreds. There is a move discussion at Talk:Brodmann_area_45#Requested_move_2_December_2018 requiring more participation, please consider commenting/voting in it along with the other discussions in the backlog (Wikipedia:Requested moves#Elapsed listings).

In relation to this this comment was made about Brodmann areas 44 and 45 on talk:Brodmann areas 44 and 45 (which I am deleting, but to preserve the comment witch is relevant to the above discussion, I am pasting it here. If the decision is made to go ahead with the proposed changes then the page can be restored. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

This page should not be speedily deleted because it was created to overcome a problematic page change from a wanted page name Triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus and the blocking of a name change to Operculum of inferior frontal gyrus. There is already a long-standing page name of Orbital part of inferior frontal gyrus which is the third part of the inferior frontal gyrus. Brodmann area 44 and Brodmann area 45 have their own pages, which i feel need to be changed either back or to, the anatomic terminology. Somewhere along the line the Brodmann area pages were used synonymously with the anatomic names. Brodmann areas are cytoarchitectural terms that do often but not always match the anatomically termed location. BrainInfo site makes a clear distintion between the anatomic names and the cytoarchitectural names. It makes a confusing mish mash of terms as it is. The page Orbital part of inferior frontal gyrus stands on its own and there is the page Brodmann area 47 that stands on its own. The page Brodmann areas 41 and 42 covers the Brodmann areas for the auditory cortex which has its own name. In the same way the page Brodmann areas 44 and 45 was made to cover Broca's area which has its own page. There is what is referred to as Gyral anatomy and cytoarchitectural organisation. Somewhere along the way these terms have become mixed. By keeping the page Brodmann areas 44 and 45, the separate pages of Brodmann 44 can rename as the opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus and 45 can rename as the triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus. If this is not be then are all the other pages to be transferred to brodmann area pages. Imstead of Visual cortex is there to be Brodmann area 17 and so on.--Iztwoz (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Neuroscientists in project scope?

Are neuroscience researchers within the purview of this project? I ask because I'm not sure whether I should tag the talk page of researchers like Kent C. Berridge and Eric J. Nestler with {{WPNEURO}}. They're two of the three preeminent researchers in some aspect (affective neuroscience and molecular neurobiology/clinical neuroscience, respectively) of the neuroscience of reward.

In my opinion, the answer is yes they are within scope. List of neuroscientists is a good place to look for pages. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:49, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Which version to go with at the Empathy article?

We need some opinions about which version of the Empathy article we should go with -- the current version or the version seen at User:Benteziegen/sandbox. Of course, we don't have to go with either version and could develop the article in another way. But the current one is the current one. Discussion is at Talk:Empathy#Theory and empirical section. The Empathy article deals with a number of medical/health topics, and neuroscience matters, ranging from autism, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, psychopathy, and so on. I also contacted WP:Med about weighing in. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:28, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

A possible Science/STEM User Group

There's a discussion about a possible User Group for STEM over at Meta:Talk:STEM_Wiki_User_Group. The idea would be to help coordinate, collaborate and network cross-subject, cross-wiki and cross-language to share experience and resources that may be valuable to the relevant wikiprojects. Current discussion includes preferred scope and structure. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 03:04, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Are Spinal neuron and Spinal interneuron distinct?

I would do a proposed merge, but it looks like neither article has gotten much editing traffic in the past year. Is there some subtle difference between these two classes of neuron, or are they two names for the same thing? ―Thanks, Vahurzpu (talk) 02:00, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Interneurons are a subset of neurons, so all interneurons are also neurons, but not all neurons are interneurons. So they are distinct. But that doesn't mean that these pages couldn't be merged. Looking just now at spinal neuron, it's kind of embarrassing. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:29, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
