Hi Wiki community,

We are a group of three Boston College undergraduate students working on a project for our Introduction to Neuroscience course. We will making a lot of modifications during the next few months on the Sucrose Gap page to provide people with more information on this technique. If you want to find out more about our project, please read this page, User:NeuroJoe/BI481_Fall_2012. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarahkim14 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

* There's no need for a separate "Introduction". I suggest you combine those couple of sentences with lead paragraph, removing any redunancies

• Refs 6 and 9 appear to be the same - but the vol numbers are different. These shoule be combined into a single citation.
• Add wikilinks to Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley.
• Consider using the {{cite journal}} template for references to provide consistent formatting. Template syntax can be tricky, ask if you need help.
• You can remove the stub and orphan templates

I think this was an informative, concise article and easy to follow. I think that you could add some wikipedia-links to some of the vocabulary in the article to help those who do not have a strong neuroscience background to better understand the topic. In terms of the "alterations made to the technique," you could also make a sub-heading to lead this and to possibly allow for other alterations of the method to be added. The development of the "double sucrose-gap" could also go under this sub-heading, if you choose to organize it this way. Tranpb (talk) 17:06, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article does a good job of explaining the sucrose gap in a direct and very technical manner. I had never heard of this technique before, yet I was able to understand it. To improve the article, like the comment above mentions as well, I think you need to add more hyperlinks to a lot of the terminology used. For example, you should hyperlink "membrane potential," "electrical coupling," "spatial constant," the neurotransmitters mentioned in the applications section and the Ohm's Law equation. I think you could also explain a bit more what the double-sucrose gap is and what you mean when you say a "physiological solution." Overall, you guys did a great job and the article is very informative. Susana.benitez (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
