Primary: Neurobio

The coverage on this topic is broad while including specific systems. When looking at the length of the structure paragraph before reading it I wondered if it would be enough basic information to understand the topic as I read on, it covers what is needed since it is a system and has the basic form in all humans There was no strong preference of view throughout this article, since it is about a feature of the body it is written with an informative point of view. Though there are contrasts between the peripheral nervous system compared to the central nervous system, it is just to get a better understanding on distinguishing the difference of functions and objectives between the two rather than giving a preference on one being better than the other. The illustration used was a good choice for showing the overall structure of the peripheral nervous system and show parts of it that cover the information provided. It was easy to follow along with and compare to the central nervous system, which you mentioned with contrasts between the two in your article. It only needs basic knowledge to understand while focusing on the main point, the peripheral nervous system in an informational manner. Through the second reference the information used matches that of the overview and background information given in the opening paragraph. It contained components of the brain, including the peripheral nervous system, and the general functions they perform. The page was well written given the description of what your group wanted to cover and time frame of this project. The page is given in a pattern that allows it to flow together.

The part where it should talk about how PNS has developed over the period of time was not been added to the article since one of our group member dropped out at the last moment. --Jungi0714 (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PNS Dysfunction (genetic) and PNS Innervation

In one study of children diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease, 43% were found to have 'Dysautonomia'. This is as of yet, unconfirmed by subsequent studies. Treatment of Dysautonomia may entail innervation of the PNS. There are five ways to so do, and they involve GABA or certain metabolites, opiates, SSRI, SSNRI and cannabinoids. This is what my research seems to confirm, and while I taught at UCSF (international docs in psychological epidemiology (HIV), I am not an MD. I speak also as a PT with dual Dx (Mito/Dysautonomia caused by both autosomal and mitochondrial genetics). If you would like to discuss further, please indicate your interest.Charley sf (talk) 18:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
