A few critisms for this template:
Firstly, most text would agree that the 4 lobes of the brain are frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobe.
Secondly, the limbic lobe (a term that is rarely used nowadays) might be better renamed the limbic system and be brought lower down the list together with the basal ganglia and insula which are also collections of deep cortical nuclei.
Thirdly, the most glaring error, the amygdala is not part of the basal ganglia and should be classified under the limbic system.
Lastly, the hippocampal formation is also part of the limbic system.

I'm in favor of better organizing the brain articles. However, I think this template should get broken up into smaller navigation panels. There's just so much information that it looks cluttered. -- TheLimbicOne( talk) 19:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I thought we should abandon the limbic systmem altogether in this template. Henceforth, I made the necessary changes (eg. I put the parahippocampal gyrus into the temporal lobe). I have four arguments against inserting a limbic system here. First, the very idea of a (single) "limbic lobe" or "limbic system" is very controversial scientifically, and is mostly based on older views of the brain. Second, this template is about the telencephalon, while the "limbic lobe" is composed of multiple different brain areas, including many outside the telencephalon. Third, the limbic lobe/system is in fact better defined as a system, not as a well-defined anatomical region. In contrast, this template is about defining clear-cut anatomical regions, such as the frontal lobe, the temporal lobe. By adopting a "limbic system" section, one is forced to withdraw the orbitofrontal cortex from the frontal lobe, to remove the parahippocampal gyrus from the temporal lobe, etc, etc. This will create more confusion than anything. Fourth, the limbic system already has its own template, so that people who are interested in knowing more about the limbic system can refer to quick information easily: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Limbic_system .
I believe Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex should be added to this template, but I'm not sure about the appropriate organization. Sondra.kinsey ( talk) 10:44, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
