Origin of the name
"Mesoridazine partially derives its name from the prefix "Meso"[citation needed] which means "middle" which is the center of the brain called the limbic system where most dopaminergic activity takes place."
I consider this assertion as highly doubtful; it may be somehow plausible, but I think, that "Mesoridazine" comes more likely from the chemical structure, where "Meso-" stands for Methylsulfonyl-, and -ridazine as a common base for piperidine-side-chain-phenotiazine neuroleptics. However, I didn't found a source for this speculation, so I will not change this statement in tis way; is it relevant enough to be incorporated into the article at the moment (at least, as long as unsourced)?--84.163.78.126 16:41, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Changed to derived from MEthylSulfOxy- group, analog to Thioridazine. These articles are an attraction point to editors who wonder how everything is apparently connected to everything in the Universe. 70.137.164.136 (talk) 23:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
