A complex neural network in the central core of the brainstem; monitors the state of the body and functions in such processes as arousal and sleep and attention and muscle tone.
Nine weeks post injury, reticulospinal tract axons were traced in 6 rats by injecting BDA into the reticularformation.

Furthermore, binding studies indicate an increase in the number of M2 muscarinic receptors in the pontine reticularformation of narcoleptic canines.

We recorded neurons in the NTS and medial reticularformation in anesthetized spontaneously breathing cats, and induced swallow by injection of water into the oropharynx.

I prevented their reticularformations from reporting the countess' smokes to their brains until I gave the cue.
