Talk:Outline of neuroscience

Reader's guide to neuroscience
Some reader suggestions (moved from the article):

"This article is a guide to Wikipedia's coverage of neuroscience topics. For a reader interested in learning neuroscience from scratch, the best place to start is probably the Nervous system article, which gives the broadest overview with the fewest assumptions of pre-existing knowledge. After that, the next place to go would be the articles about three entities that play central roles in neuroscience: Brain, Neuron and Synapse. To get a basic overview of cellular neuroscience, a reader could start with the Neuron article, then move on to Synapse, Chemical synapse, and Action potential.  For an overview of systems neuroscience, the reader could start with Brain and then move on to Human brain.  These articles give necessary background for more detailed and specialized articles, such as Axon, Dendrite, Neurotransmitter, and Neurotransmitter receptor at the cellular level, along with Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System, Spinal Cord, Cerebral Cortex, and numerous articles about various brain regions, at the systems level."

Neurogenetics
Why is there no page on neurogenetics? and why do we link to computational neurogenetic modeling from this page? This seems like a very specific subfield... perhaps someone's own research project...

Cellular neuroanatomy
the section on "cellular neuroanatomy" contains a whole lot of stuff that isnt cellular at all!!! its like molecular/ neuropharm.... i would change it, but i dont know if someone else is doing this for a reason that i missed?? Countryroad 17:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

List of Wikiproject Medicine Neurology articles
List of Wikiproject Medicine Neurology articles is also an awesome list. Perhaps this one and that one could be merged?! SriMesh | talk  21:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Added category tree here.

A few suggestions...
Under glial cells some options are missing, such as ependymal cells and satellite cells.

Brodmann area somewhere, could be under brain for example.

Under Sensory system I would suggest itch and proprioception

I see there is no page for reward learning under learning and memory subsection. I assume this is instrumental conditioning, I guess they have different names.

Add sexual arousal under the arousal section?

Behavioral Neuroscience is broad, yet there is only one topic, neuroethology. Drinking, Eating, Sexual Behavior, Social Behavior, and many other types of behaviors exist. Let's make this bigger.

I am a senior undergraduate majoring in neuroscience. I would make the changes myself, but don't really know how. Grouphug (talk) 10:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with all of your suggestions. Please feel free to "be bold" and add as many of them as you want, and please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help doing it. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:19, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
