Component items:

• Medullary Reticular Formation, Midline Column (HL.RF.MID)
  • Raphe Nuclei of Medulla (LMC.HL.RP): Regulate moods, temper anxiety, and relieve depression
    • Raphe Pallidus Nucleus (LMC.HL.RP.PL): Spinal pain control
    • Raphe Obscurus Nucleus (LMC.HL.RP.OB): Regulate cardiovascular function via sympathetic spinal column
    • Raphe Magnus Nucleus (LMC.HL.RP.MG): Inhibit head and spinal pain
• Medullary Reticular Formation, Medial Column (HL.RF.MED)
  • Central Medullary Reticular Nucleus (LRC.HL.RF.MED): Somatic motor control, cardiovascular control, pain modulation, sleep and consciousness, habituation
  • Gigantocellular Reticular Nucleus (LRC.HL.PRF.GCR): Vasodepressor center
• Medullary Reticular Formation, Lateral Column (HL.RF.LAT): Somatic motor control, cardiovascular control, pain modulation, sleep and consciousness, habituation
  • Lateral Reticular Nucleus (LLC.HL.RF.LAT): provide cerebellum with segregated information from several spinal systems controlling posture, reaching, grasping, locomotion, scratching and respiration
