"A discussion of differences in the use of this term is presented in Anthoney-94" - what does this mean? It doesn't make any sense in context, not unless Anthoney-94 is metioned in the references which is not the case. / Habj 01:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
The brain stem is often referred to as the Reptilian Brain, right? http://www.crystalinks.com/reptilianbrain.html Mathiastck 14:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The Gray's anatomy image seems to show more than just the Brain stem which is confusing - it has the hippocampus, external capsule and caudate nucleus. Is there another Gray's anatomy picture that just has the brain stem? 194.83.140.31 10:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
This picture was in the section regarding the Trochlear Nerve: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Gray719.png I think it should be included in the main page on the brainstem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.132.171 ( talk) 13:34, April 4, 2007 (UTC)
In the body, the one-word brainstem appears to be used more than "brain stem", including for example the figure caption. A quick comparison on Google also suggests more hits for brainstem than "brain stem", so I wonder if the page name should be changed, and brain_stem redirected to brainstem rather than the reverse, as present? Ged.R 14:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to say that this page is in SERIOUS NEED of adding of information. I plan to come back after my exam when I have some time and add on, but if anyone else can also help, that would be awesome. Kitra101 22:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Agree with the name change: "Brainstem" appears as a word inits own right in the Oxford English (sorry US friends) Dictionary. Is the term used in Gray's Anatomy and many other reference sources
Aside: I also agree about the time pressure of exams on medical students, maybe after we qualify, we can come back and improve on this. Dave Morgan 14:00 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I did a Google check myself, and using +brainstem and +"brain stem" produced nearly identical numbers. So, I'm going to say either way is correct, but make "brain stem" the standard for this article since that's the article's current title. If anyone disagrees, feel free to fix it, but this mixed usage has gone on for too long. -- Hi Ev 16:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
I checked PubMed again and queried specifically for "brain stem" vs. "brainstem" in title and abstract, only in top journals. Query used: "brainstem"[Title/Abstract]("CA: a cancer journal for clinicians"[Jour] OR "The New England journal of medicine"[Jour] OR "Science (New York, N.Y.)"[Jour] OR "Cell"[Jour] OR "Nature immunology"[Jour] OR "Nature"[Jour] OR "Lancet"[Jour] OR "JAMA : the journal of the American Medical Association"[Jour] OR "Nature cell biology"[Jour] OR "Immunity"[Jour] OR "Cell metabolism"[Jour] OR "The Journal of clinical investigation"[Jour] OR "Nature neuroscience"[Jour] OR "Neuron"[Jour] OR "Stem cells"[Jour] OR "Cancer cell"[Jour] OR "Cell metabolism"[Jour] OR "Nature medicine"[Jour] OR "Genes & development"[Jour] OR "Journal of Clinical Oncology"[Jour] OR "Circulation"[Jour] OR "Gastroenterology"[Jour] OR "Molecular cell"[Jour] OR "Cell host & microbe"[Jour] OR "Current biology : CB"[Jour] OR "PLoS biology"[Jour] OR "Trends in neurosciences"[Jour] OR "Annual review of medicine"[Jour] OR "Annual review of physiology"[Jour] OR "Annual review of biochemistry"[Jour] OR "Annual review of microbiology"[Jour] OR "Annual review of genetics"[Jour] OR "Annual review of pharmacology and toxicology"[Jour] OR "Annual review of immunology"[Jour] OR "Annual review of public health"[Jour] OR "Annual review of neuroscience"[Jour] OR "Annual review of nutrition"[Jour] OR "Annual review of biophysics and biomolecular structure"[Jour] OR "Annual review of cell and developmental biology"[Jour] OR "Annual review of biophysics and bioengineering"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Drug discovery"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Genetics"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Molecular cell biology"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Neuroscience"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Cancer"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Immunology"[Jour] OR "Nature reviews. Microbiology"[Jour] OR "Blood"[Jour]) AND (("2000/1/1"[PDat]:"3000"[PDat])) RESULT: 'brain stem' was used 32 times including 5 review articles while 'brainstem' was used 144 times, including 32 review articles. In addition, when I checked the review articles in either Annual Reviews ___ or Nature Reviews ___, I saw a clear preponderance of the term 'brainstem' over 'brain stem.' Furthermore, even in articles that used 'brain stem' in the abstract and title, they used 'brainstem' more often in the main article.
On a separate note, I also found the term 'brainstem' used in Columbia med school lectures taught by Rafael Yuste (an HHMI investigator/neuroscientist) and Netter's books.
However, I DID find the term 'brain stem' used exclusively in UCSD's basic neurology course (which I am taking).
In conclusion, I believe brainstem is the correct term... can someone please change the title of the page to brainstem? Seunghwane ( talk)
I exchange the order of the part of the brain stem. I think it is more logical to put the midbrain before the pons because it is the normal order if we start at the top of the brainstem.

Just a suggestion from someone browsing through - while I'm sure this is very useful to the professionally-inclined, the page contains very little that's of use to the layman without much knowledge of anatomy. It's pretty highly technical. A description of the general location and function of the brain stem without resorting to medical terminology would be really helpful and informative. Right now, this entry reads like it was copied from a med school textbook - very useful to a few people, but not so much for the general population -- Auric04 ( talk) 21:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Moving pages by copy-and-paste is not permitted because it removes the article history from the article, and produces a violation of the GFDL license. I explained above what you need to do to move the article -- you need to file a request at Wikipedia:Requested page moves. There is no other way to do it. Looie496 ( talk) 14:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
This seems to be causing some difficulty. I don't know the official answer, but I do know that the olfactory nerve is not one of them, as it comes from the forebrain. I think the optic nerve should also not be included, as it comes from the diencephalon. The others come from the midbrain and hindbrain, so they should count. So it seems to me that the correct number should be 10. Looie496 ( talk) 15:45, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits to this project, Iztwoz. As you know we recently had an RfC on this matter with no consensus. There is a section in WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy that facilitates the coverage of animal anatomy in human anatomy-dominated articles; if we willy-nilly split articles we willy halve the editing and viewship of articles, impacting their future development for no real benefit; we have 4,500 anatomy articles probably 4, 450 about humans and it it would be very effort intensive and counterproductive to move the majority of these articles to "Human x" unless there is enough information on animals to support it.

confused, hmm I don't feel like it, I know what I want to say but it comes out completely something else. I dropped fish on the floor and I ask my child to pick up the cheese. I kept repeating the wrong thing and I don't know why I do this. it wasn't the first time either. just wondering what part of the brain controls the words coming out of my mouth — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.127.237 ( talk) 02:00, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Brainstem. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
