"Do you know what the central reticular formation is?"

Damage to the reticular formation can produce a permanent state of coma.

First relates to the reticular formation (in the brain).

It is a part of the reticular formation.

Injury to the reticular formation can result in irreversible coma.

This is how the reticular formation mediates attention and wakefulness.

Several nuclei, tracts and the reticular formation are contained here.

The term "reticular formation" is seldom used anymore except to speak in generalities.

Modern scientists usually refer to the individual nuclei that comprise the reticular formation.

As its name implies, its most influential component is the reticular formation.

Bilateral damage to the reticular formation of the midbrain may lead to coma or death.

It also sends information to the mesencephalon and the reticular formation of the brainstem.

It terminates in the brainstem at the medullary-pontine reticular formation.

It has been shown in cats that electrical stimulation of the reticular formation can make a standing cat lie down.

The thalamus and reticular formation "activate" the entire brain.

Mass lesions in the brain stem normally cause coma due to their effects on the reticular formation.

When associated with the thalamus, they likely arise in coordination with the reticular formation.

The reticular formation is responsible for the automatic (unconscious) orientation of the body to painful stimuli.

"You know," he said, "the remarkable thing is that the reticular formation is in the oldest part of the brain.

The pons first evolved as an offshoot of the medullary reticular formation.

Coverning the entire nervous system is a complex system of cells in the brain stem known as the reticular formation.

The reticular formation consists of more than 100 small neural networks, with varied functions including the following:

The reticular formation has been functionally cleaved both sagittally and coronally.

This results in the midbrain and pons being compressed, possibly causing damage to the reticular formation.

A delicate operation had removed part of the reticular formation, the section of the hindbrain that controls sleep.
