Subject: Dr. Steve Finkbeiner's pix of medium spiny neurons is on Wikipedia
Hello Friends:Here's the link to the Wikipedia site for Huntington's disease: http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Huntington% 27s_disease.

When you go there, please see the colorful picture of the medium spiny neuron---this was taken by Dr. Steven Finkbeiner. If you click directly on the picture, you will be given more information.Here's a note from Steven Finkbeiner, MD, PhD, Gladstone Institute, SF, Director Taube-Koret Center for Huntington's Disease Research, San Francisco:

"I have been working with Lee Van-Jackson at Wikipedia on the entry for Huntington's disease, and it just got promoted to featured article. Less than 0.1% of articles in Wikipedia receive that distinction, which is given by their editors based on the quality and accuracy of the article. Since it is the first "hit" when you Google "Huntington' s disease", and Wikipedia gets 65 million visitors a month, I am hoping that the effort will help us in our goal to educate the public."
