This page covers biological details of component group Mesencephalic Reticular Formation.
Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

* '''Top-down path to center''': Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Mesencephalic Reticular Formation (MM.RF) (see [[OverallMindMaps|Mind Maps]])
* '''Function''':
* '''Notes to function''': Saccades, fixation, gaze holding and vergence. Space-time coordinated rapid eye movements
