The figure showing the mesencephalon does not belong here.

I am presently reading through my notes in neuroscience for medical school and have come across this piece of information. "bilateral lesion of the insula results in asymbolia for pain in which a patient can describe the painful stimuli but not be emotionally affected by it." I would look up a study, cite it, and add the info, but sadly i will not have the time. Thought i would put it out there for a good user to add.

[edit] transcranial magnetic stimulation

I've added the bit about transcranial magnetic stimulation because reports say Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse wants to investigate that, and because I don't know of many other significant applications/tests of transcranial magnetic stimulation, but others may justifiably consider this too tangential.

I'm not very happy about the position of the reference after my edit, but don't quite know what adjustment to make either; therefore the parentheses - I don't want to imply that the authors of the research have suggested this.

[edit] Naqvi? Who?

There are several paragraphs devoted to a very marginal view which has no support in the literature. These should be removed (perhaps by the same naughty Iowan who put them there) or marked as being highly speculative. I've deleted things I judged to be plain wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waster (talk • contribs) 21:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
