[edit] Discussion from Talk:Brain
I've been considering whether or not to move the "History" section to the article Neuroscience, since the section is more concerned with the history of the study of the brain (and the nervous system), rather than of the brain itself. Any thoughts or objections? Sayeth 18:08, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- I really like that Idea Sayeth. I also think it would be good to remove the "modern neuroscience" section and maybe incorporate it to the neuroscience article. This section is a bit pointless since it really is a very selective description of a few of the neuroscience techniques in use today. Nrets 13:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with both of these, well definitely Nrets, but needs some thought about what this article is really about, because the History section is the best part of this article. I agree strongly with Fyslee about Modern neuroscience section, and even more so about the section on study of the brain. To be honest, there isn't clarity apparent about exactly what this article is trying to do. I would suggest that Neuroscience should be the main introductory article about the study of the brain, and this article should refer on to that for an overview. I also think this article is too heavy on neuroanatomy (refer on to article on neuroanatomy) [[[User:Gleng|Gleng]] 15:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with Sayeth's proposal. --Arcadian 17:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

- Moved "History" and "Modern neuroscience" to Neuroscience article. Sayeth 17:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
I felt that this was a off move, e.g. doing a search for "brain history" does not connect me to neuroscience. Hence, I started a history mini-article (with see:History of the brain links attached) for both brain and neuroscience.--Sadi Carnot 11:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
