	The Cure Award
	In 2013 you were one of the top 300 medical editors across any language of Wikipedia. Thank you so much for helping bring free, complete, accurate, up-to-date medical information to the public. We really appreciate you and the vital work you do!

We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)

Thanks again :) --Ocaasi, Doc James and the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation

Why does this not belong on the reference desk? It's not a request for funding, it's a request for information on how they might obtain funding. That is a factual question. --Viennese Waltz 13:45, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I rather expect that today's Nobel is going to give the theta oscillation more prominence. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:21, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! All three of them are good friends. I knew that they were doing Nobel-quality work but I never expected anything to happen so soon. Looie496 (talk) 22:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've never met them, but I was very happy to see them selected. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on your helpful comment at Talk:John O'Keefe, I made an edit that attempted to make it clearer that it isn't simply spike timing. I also wanted to briefly follow up with you about what you said about your own theory about precession function, and I figured I should do that here. Per your paper to which you linked, am I correct that the theory to which you were referring is the idea about precession leading to LTP? --Tryptofish (talk) 20:39, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I still think that idea probably has some level of validity, but I don't think it can be anything like the full story. I was really referring to later unpublished thoughts. That conjecture does make the point though that precession could do something useful without doing anything that could reasonably called "temporal coding". Anyway I've replied there.

Look whose talk page pops up on my watchlist after such a long time. Looie, I think Tfish and I are kind of getting cabin fever over at Talk:Phineas Gage, and I wonder whether you wouldn't mind rejoining the conversation there after your long absence. Talk:Phineas_Gage#Comparison_of_proposals would be a good place to start. EEng (talk) 05:52, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For me, not cabin fever, but maybe a strong urge to heave. (EEng knows what I mean, and no, not Ebola.) --Tryptofish (talk) 21:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be scared off, Looie -- we take all appropriate precautions, and not one discussion participant has become infected (except with enthusiasm, of course). Please come join us. EEng (talk) 02:31, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do well with extended disputes like that. If things don't get resolved in a reasonable time I get too frustrated. Looie496 (talk) 14:43, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You could just drop in and give your opinion. You don't have to sign up for the long haul. Tell you what -- suppose a question was succinctly summarized and your opinion was solicited. Could you consider responding, with no obligation to stick around? EEng (talk) 15:50, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Cerebellum for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. DrKiernan (talk) 12:59, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[1] I realize this is a primary source however you indicated that there was " little evidence to support" Autism and a connection (direct) to the cerebellum, well how does this do? im not lobbying for its inclusion into the FA article, but that doesn't mean some evidence doesnt' exist--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 19:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's some evidence for just about anything; that's why we require secondary sources. That evidence doesn't seem very strong to me. There's a long distance between mouse misbehavior and autism. Looie496 (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
