Talk:Neurobiology of Insect Walking

    This article is extremely well written and thorough. I have just one point that I would like to raise: The title of the article is Neurobiology of Insect Walking, yet none of the illustrations show a neuron, a nervous system, or an electrophysiological recording. These aspects are discussed in the text and could be illustrated. In the absence of such illustration and given the strong emphasis on other features, you might consider changing the title to "Biomechanics of Insect Walking". I am in favor of calling it "Neuroethology of Insect Walking" because that incorporates the behavior and the neurobiology. --Paul S. Katz 17:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

    Change title word Neurobiology

    I think that calling the article Biomechanics of Insect walking would be misleading. We really do not talk about biomechanics much at all and I suspect other authors would be better for such an article. I am OK with "Neuroethology" and in fact like that a lot. I am a bit concerned that fewer people know what Neuroethology is. But that may be OK. You are right that there are no neurobiology figures, but the text is heavily devoted to neurobiology.

    I will await what others think about this matter.
