Looks like a good start. Don't forget a good intro section as well. NeuroJoe (talk) 03:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

As I am a neuropsychologist I do not know that much about basic anatomy. Therefore I do not know about specific sources for your article. I can only give you some general recommendations. At the same moment you posted your question I was writting and the talk page of one of your class mates: I copy some text I posted at his talk page since it should also be of help to your case:

• Take a look at WP:MEDRS which talks about the best sources for medical-scientific articles in WP. Secondary reliable sources (such as reviews in scientific journals or textbooks) are preferred over primary ones (non-review articles in journals). Websites in most situations are in most cases far from being ideal sources. My recommendation would be that you searched for basic neuroanatomy books and used it/them instead of websites and primary articles, at least for the most general facts of the article.
• At this point sources of the article are not very good so you should also use textbooks and reviews to eliminate current sources with better ones.
• Once you find better sources you would have to add them as inline citations. I, or anybody in the neuroscience or medicine projects will help you with it but you can also see Wikipedia:Citing sources.
• It would also be a good idea if you left a link on the article's talk page to your proposals and your questions about it: editing tends to encourage editing and you may receive comments from other editors.

In summary: at this point it may be easier for you as a first step to go library of the university and have in your hands some of the basic neuro-anatomy books instead of doing lots of database searching. You may also search google books, taking a look at the indexes of the books and if interesting later searching for them in your university library.

While not very specific I hope this is of some help. Again feel free to make further questions at my talk page. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 19:46, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
