Talk:Dorsal raphe nucleus

proposed changes
Holy cow, this page is in major need of work. There is a lot of important information missing, and there is a lot of irrelevant or unimportant information included. I know a good deal about the dorsal raphe, but have never edited a Wikipedia page. To take a small step in that direction I'll first propose some changes here and see if anybody has any feedback. -RAM

Article sections I'd propose: 1. Basic overview - serotonergic brainstem nucleus, the main source of serotonin to forebrain

2. Role in controlling organism's physiology/behavior - general behavioral state, anxiety/depression/stress

3. Neurochemistry - classical neurotransmitters expressed (5-HT, GABA, DA, glutamate? [vglut3]), neuropeptides co-expressed

4. Anatomy - afferents, efferents
 * Welcome to Wikipedia! I'd like to encourage you to be bold about updating the page, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I also encourage you to get an account -- it's not mandatory, but you'll probably find it helps you achieve your goals. More details are available at Why create an account?. --Arcadian 02:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

This page is very cluttered with information about different things all over the place. Someone with a solid base of knowledge in this subject should fix it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jovack (talk • contribs) 08:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Suicide in article
Suicide is not something that happens to a human being like a heart attack or an Epileptic seizure. Suicide is a complex action and should not be in the article.--Mark v1.0 (talk) 15:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
