    My Workspace[edit]


    Galleries[edit]

    • Gallery 5 - Obsolete images (png). Move useful images to Wikimedia Commons, delete unused images.


    Articles: update[edit]

    • Glucose - clarify interconversion, anomers, etc. (reference: McMurry pp. 985)
    • Sulfanilamide - create image showing synthesis route from benzene (reference: McMurry pp. 941)
    • Fluoxetine - add "Pharmacology" section, add info about interactions (reference: Holt ???)


    Articles: new[edit]

    • Lesion study - important neuroscience research technique; "The use of structure to infer function was adopted for experimentation, and much of neuroscience rests upon observations made by purposefully damaging a distinct brain region, nerve or tract in an experimental animal and observing and documenting the subsequent loss of function." (reference: Purves pp. 16)
    • double labeling - labeling neurons in a particular region using two different methods, e.g. anterograde tracing and enzyme labeling (reference: Carlson pp. 164)
    • Active form - extensively used, especially in the context of chemistry, but never explained anywhere
    • Arborization - extensively used term; should it have its own article?
    • Molar excess - this term is used everywhere, yet there is no clear explanation of it; refers to the compound in a reaction that has more moles than are necessary to complete the reaction in full (the direction of the reaction is unimportant, c.f. Le Chatlier's principle)
    • Neural tract - "A collection of axons in the central nervous system having the same origin, termination, and function." (reference: Marieb pp. G-19) ; equivalent to a nerve in the PNS
      • relationship to Neural pathway? Biological tracts in general (e.g. GI tract)? Proposed titles for a more general article were "Tract (biology)" or "Tract (anatomy)"
    • Presynaptic specialization & Postsynaptic specialization - used in a vague manner throughout Neuroscience 4e, e.g. "Typically, the presynaptic terminal is immediately adjacent to a postsynaptic specialization of the target cell." (reference: Purves pp. 7); probably refers to certain features of receptor proteins and/or the morphology of dendrites

    Articles: unsorted[edit]

    • Axon - (reference: Marieb), (reference: Purves)
    • Thalamus - needs better introduction, (reference: ???)
    • Oscillopsia ("bouncing vision") - (reference: Purves 357)
    • Fovea - (reference: Purves 258, 272-3)
    • Ganglion - (reference: Marieb), clear up confusion with Ganglion cell; add examples of ganglia (e.g. spiral ganglion, Scarpa's ganglion, etc.)
      • "Collections of hundreds to thousands of neurons found outside the brain and spinal cord along the course of peripheral nerves."
    • Ganglion cell - (reference: Purves 261-310), info is scattered throughout text
      • M ganglion cells & P ganglion cells (reference: Purves 305)
    • CREB - add inline citations
    • Patch clamp - (reference: Purves ?)
    • Current clamp - needs to be properly partitioned, and much more info is needed about the biological-research-technique type of current clamp
    • Voltage clamp - create new picture based on Box 3A (reference: Purves 42)
    • Gray882.png - replace with better image for all retinal structures, (reference: Purves 262)
    • GPCR - (reference: Purves 156)
    • Drug use statistics & DA involved in all drug addictions & COMT. (reference: Purves 138-9)
    • Gravity (beer) - add better image of hydrometer, link to/from other homebrewing articles, term is used in relation to all alcoholic beverages although consumers only see it in relation to beer
    • Definity - drug "used in cardiac imaging, cardiopulmonary reactions" (reference: [3]). current article is about digital imaging.

    Images: remove raster, add vector[edit]
