RETICULAR FORMATION - History
Cajal (1909) - reticulum
Bremer (1935) - encephale & cerveau isolê prep.
Magoun (1949) - EEG = behav. “arousal”; Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS).
Lindsley (1950) - sensory cuts
Moruzzi (1958) - NRPO; EEG desynchronization
Fuster (1958) - “attention”
Lindsley (1959) - humans

2. RETICULAR FORMATION Medulla Pons Midbrain Bremer (1935) Cerveau Isolé
Encephale Isolé
Sensory input cuts (Lindsley, 1950)
Trigeminal Nerve (V)
Midpontine - Pretrigeminal Preperation
NRPO = n. reticularis pontis oralis (Moruzzi, 1958)

3. Fuster (1958): Rhesus - WGTA

4. EEG waves of waking & sleep stages
Spindles + K-complex » reduced sensory input to brain REM = ß + Ø (Paradoxical sleep: n. reticularis magnocellularis, gigantocellular tegmental field)
