[edit] Expansion / wikification

I can't believe this article is so sparse! Is anyone interested in a collaboration to expand and reference this article further as it's definately close to the "bread and butter" of Neuroscience. Also, is the disambig link really neccesary? I'm quite sure that "The Claws of Axos" aren't being confused for an obscure episode of Dr Who. J O R D A N [talk ] 15:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
