Whether "Limbic Regulation" is a neologism:
The term was first advanced 8 years ago in a best selling book and has since been used in several other books and articles, many of which I cited and referenced in this article.
I would appreciate any specific feedback on how to improve this article and remove the deletion notice.
thanks!

After doing further research on neologisms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms#Articles_on_neologisms) I've made improvements to this article, specifically quoting the exact definitions of "Limbic Regulation" that have appeared in different books subsequent to the publication of "A General Theory of Love." These definitions vary slightly from the definition proposed in the original book, and so I believe adding them has improved the quality of the article as a whole.
I propose that the Deletion notice and neologism flag be removed from this article now for the following reasons:
The books which are cited seem to meet the criteria of being "about the term — not just sources which mention it briefly or use it in passing."
The appearance of the term being not just USED but DEFINED in several peer-review full length books meets criteria set out in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms#Reliable_sources_for_neologisms
The term Limbic Regulation is one of three key concepts being presented in A General Theory of Love, the other two being Limbic resonance and Limbic revision. It doesn't make sense to flag the one and not the other two. Neither would it make sense to flag all three, given that Limbic resonance has been included now for over a month, was featured on the Wikipedia home page Did You Know section of June 24th, and has been added to and improved upon by several editors.
