clean-up tag

there was this clean-up tag since december 2006, but I wasn't able to find the reason why it was there in the first place... there's nothing about central nervous system in december 2006 in the clean-up page... Rto 13:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from page: this is the brain Insert non-formatted text here

Headline text

Cranial nerves: are they part of the CNS? -- The cranial nerves III-XII are a part of the PNS, Peripheral nervous system.

The articles nervous system and centeral nervous system should be merged with re-directs for both of these names. I might do it later...or someone else can sooner. Hi, i'm stuck with my science homework.....so could anybody tell me what the 4 main parts of the nervous system are. I know the brain and the spinal cord are 2, but i just don't know the other 2. I'd be very grateful if anybody could tell me. Thank you!

Folic acid

I erased this phrase: "In the development phase, folic acid is a critical dietary supplement for proper nural tube development." The article is just meant to be an introduction to the other CNS articles. The diet that goverment suggests to mothers during pregnancy are beyond its scope... Rto 11:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

Is it just me, or is the introductory paragraph a little hard to understand? Someone should clarify and define 'behavior' in the second sentence. --Gabycs 23:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC) CELIA WAZ HERE 5-21-2007

Human orientation

This article is clearly geared solely toward the CNS of humans. Can we possibly expand the article so that it explains what Central Nervous Systems are rather than what the CNS in humans is? Animals have CNS too. --Noetic Sage 04:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! The article should perhaps be renamed: Central nervous system of humans -- or of primates -- or of vertebrates. Do we have an article about the CNS in various (other) animals, which maybe I just haven't found??
Just as the article Sleep was 'taken over' by humans, such that we later got Sleep (non-human), some such work needs to be done here. --Hordaland (talk) 15:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Parts of the CNS

the cns is made up of your brain and your but and definatly not your spinal chord

EVOLUTION: Planarians

I added a paragrah about the CNS of planarians. In one of the sentences, I state, "A molecular study found that >95% of the 116 genes involved in the nervous system of planarians, which includes those related to the planarian CNS, also exist in humans." I do not know how to create a reference for the article. Below is the information on that article. If anyone else can setup the reference for me, please do so.

Katsuhiko Mineta, Masumi Nakazawa, Francesc Cebrià, Kazuho Ikeo, Kiyokazu Agata, and Takashi Gojobori, Origin and evolutionary process of the CNS elucidated by comparative genomics analysis of planarian ESTs, PNAS June 24, 2003 vol. 100 no. 13 7666-7671 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.94.233.30 (talk) 19:50, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a huge rewrite, but that information is definitely going to be relevant, so thanks for adding it. You might look at another article, for example Alzheimer's disease, to see how to cite journal articles: basically it should look like <ref>{{cite journal |last=Smith |first=J |title=The Tao of Foo |etc}}</ref>. If you don't get around to it, I'll fix it at some point. Looie496 (talk) 00:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
