Stimulation of the reticular activating system makes us?
Stimulation of the reticular activating system makes us alert.

the brain area that regulated activities that control the state of wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex is the
What happen if reticular formation damage?
yes
What are symptoms of reticular formation?
Chronic pain as a reticular formation syndrome. Andy OJ.AbstractEvidence was previously presented to support the thesis that chronic pain is activated by neuronal elements that make up the multisynaptic short axon core of the reticular system (Andy and Peeler 1985). The present thesis, that chronic pain is a reticular formation syndrome, is based on a retrospective analysis of four patients with chronic pain who were successfully treated with a lesion in the anterior thalamus and stimulation electrode implants in the posterior thalamus and pontomesencephalic brain stem. The reticular formation was the common underlying anatomic substrate at those three sites. In addition to chronic pain, all the patients had other symptoms attributable to other body organs and systems. The number and type of symptoms that made up the syndrome differed between patients. Symptoms making up the core of the syndrome were pain, anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, and depression. Experimental and clinical findings are briefly presented to demonstrate the various reticular formation sites, pragmatically considered "reticular functional systems," from which symptoms may arise. It is hypothesized that the symptoms are recruited by a low threshold "pain oscillator" that is generated at one reticular site and subsequently permeates the rest of the reticular system. Therapeutic stimulation inactivates the low threshold system by "jamming" it.
What part of the brain is responsible for conciousness?
the reticular formation
The hippocampus and the reticular formation are part of?
Limbic System
What will happen to you when sevoflurane reaches the reticular formation neurons that control sleep and consciousness?
Sevoflurane is an inhaled anesthetic that is designed to temporarily cause sleep. Studies have shown that this anesthetic may cause aggression in children when they awaken, but the overall impact on the brain is temporary. Intravenous anesthetics like Propofol have a greater impact on the reticular formation neurons than inhalants.
Area of neurons running through the middle of the medulla?
Reticular formation
What is the sleep center of the brain?
Reticular formation.
The reticulospinal extrapyramidal nerve tracts consist of fibers that originate in the?
reticular formation
What happens when you damage the reticular formation in the brain?
damage to the Reticular Formation can result in prolonged coma, minor epilepsy, or narcolepsy.
