Introdution

I went ahead and revised the time point sentence. The reference I used is note the most specific to this topic, feel free to update it with a textbook or more specifc ref. Neuroschizl (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What species is being referred to when describing the fetal development of the cortex? I assume this is mouse, but I think it should be stated explicitely. Neuroschizl (talk) 22:27, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 December 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn by Iztwoz. See Special:Diff/874036271 or below. (closed by non-admin page mover) Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 12:16, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Development of the human cerebral cortex → Corticogenesis – Previous page name used in line with others including neurogenesis, gliogenesis, embryogenesis; is not in line with other Development pages which are of systems such as Development of reproductive system Iztwoz (talk) 23:04, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Since "development of the human cerebral cortex" has a specific name, I believe the name of the article should reflect it. Peter M. Grund (talk) 23:45, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. @Pharexia a 'specific name' can be formed for development by addition of -genesis to any greek or latin root of an anatomical structure eg. dactylogenesis, brachiogenesis, thyrogenesis, thymogenesis, cardiogenesis etc., this does not mean we should use it in my opinion unless it's commonly used. "Corticogenesis" per se is not used very often at all (see eg. a google search or n-gram) and "Development of the human cerebral cortex" is both more precise (correct move should be to 'Human corticogenesis'), and much more readily understood by the reader. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:51, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to withdraw the requested move back to Corticogenesis for the reasoning given by Tom but since there are many other like pages shall be posting on Project anatomy page. Also I do think that the inclusion of the term Human is not right since page refers to mice and diagram used is of mouse cortex.--Iztwoz (talk) 18:55, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Development of the cerebral cortex → Corticogenesis – Was the previous name used and is much easier to link to and to refer to - the lead starts with corticogenesis and is used 25 times on the page. I withdrew this move request last year but am more sure now of the opinion that it should be moved. There are numerous pages with the same suffix -genesis: neurogenesis, morphogenesis, vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, somitogenesis for example, and there are 307 such items listed in Wiktionary. The use of the suffix, informs of the meaning of the term referred to, in a direct way. Iztwoz (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2019 (UTC)--Iztwoz (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I disagree with the thoughtful proposal above. I think I am also the originator of this move. Although '-genesis' is a suffix that is commonly found, and some uses of the term (eg angiogenesis) are common, I do not support this move back. "Corticogenesis" is hard for lay readers to understand and is also ambiguous as there are many cortices in the human body. A lay reader is unlikely to know what corticogenesis means, but very likely to understand the current title. I don't think there is any convincing evidence that the common name is corticogenesis. The fact that the term is used in the article is in my opinion fairly immaterial as that could be easily changed. I look forward to hearing the opinions of other editors. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:38, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. "Development of the cerebral cortex" is clearer for the casual reader, & distinguish from the adrenal cortex etc. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
