where is the reticular formation located in the brain
Reticular formation The reticular formation is a set of interconnected nuclei that are located throughout the brainstem. The reticular formation is not anatomically well defined because it includes neurons located in diverse parts of the brain. The neurons of the reticular formation make up a complex set of networks in the core of the brainstem that stretch from the upper part of the midbrain to the lower part of the medulla oblongata.[1] The reticular formation includes ascending pathways to the cortex in the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) and descending pathways to the spinal cord via the reticulospinal tracts of the descending reticular formation.[2][3][4][5]
Cerebellar tentorium It covers the top of the cerebellum, and supports the occipital lobes of the brain.
Cerebrum With the assistance of the cerebellum, the cerebrum controls all voluntary actions in the body.
Visual cortex The visual cortex of the brain is a part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information. It is located in the occipital lobe in the back of the head.
