[edit] Cerebrum vs. brain

TheLimbicOne, I've made a few changes that I think reflect the definition a bit better. What do you think? Semiconscious · talk 07:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

That works for me. Take a look at the main article "limbic system", please. Can any of that be stated more clearly? While researching and organizing this I also considered how the limbic system interacts with the endocrine system. I'm still not sure what to do with that connection, though. Any thoughts? --TheLimbicOne(talk) 00:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I'll take a look at it when I have a chance. Semiconscious · talk 02:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering why "neurocrine systems" in "List of regions in the human brain redirects to endocrine system? I couldn't find any info at all on the term so I'm leaving it alone for now. --TheLimbicOne(talk) 00:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I have no idea! Is that even the correct term to use in this case? Semiconscious · talk 02:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Did you add the additional articles too? --TheLimbicOne(talk) 00:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Indeed. They are all part of the limbic system as far as I know. Semiconscious · talk 02:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Ok, my bio text book only listed what was in the original article. Are the added articles important enough to be on the navigation pane? --TheLimbicOne(talk) 14:29, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for doing all of this by the way! Semiconscious · talk 02:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


Just a comment or quote re limbic that has interesting implications-especially when added to arising discoveries on mirror neurons and extraordinary Wikipedia effects and results. The last para of Glut: Mastering Information Through The Ages by Alex Wright

"For most of our species history human beings have interacted in small, tightly woven communities; families, villages, guilds and other social groups whose members were bound by ties of direct kinship or close personal affiliation. Only in the past few thousand years have people allowed themselves to be governed by institutional bodies. On the scale of evolutionary history institutions remain a short lived hypothesis. Yet for tens of thousands of years human beings have interacted as social animals, following unwritten norms, strengthened by kinship, reinforced by the limbic responses that strenthen our personal relationships and transmitted through the spoken word. Today we are seeing those instincts return to the fore as people adapt new technologies to invoke the ancient emotional circuitry that carried us through the age before symbols. The future of memory may lie not in our heads but in our hearts".
