Reticular Formation 

The reticular formation is defined as diffuse ill-defined mass of intermingled neurons and nerve fibres occupying the entire core of brainstem.  The reticular formation has derived its name from its light microscopic appearance of a vague network of nerve cells and nerve fibres.  It has been defined to include all areas within the brainstem (except the named nuclei and tracts) which when…

Reticular Formation

Located in the medulla and the midbrain. It distributes axons widely, both rostrally and caudally, receiving inpu from ascending spinal tracts and descending cranial axons. It is involved in vestibular and cochlear reflexes.

Input also comes from the cerebellum, thalamus, frontal, sensory and motor areas of the brain.

The reticular formation regulates alertness, modulates heart rate and modulates bloops pressure using baroreceptors: a sensorimotor controller between the brain and the spinal cord.

[thegaitguys]

Today on Neuromechanics Weekly, we explain how the autonomic nervous system is linked to brain activity, particularly the cerebellum, which we all know is intimately linked to gait, walking and running. Now you will understand why you get dizzy when you have pain or why your heart beats faster or harder (they are different sides of the brain). Join Dr Waerlop in this fascinating lecture.
