Mesencephalic Reticular Formation
@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainCenterMM_RF
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 Mind Maps)
- Function:
- Notes to function: Saccades, fixation, gaze holding and vergence. Space-time coordinated rapid eye movements

Components
(generated)
Component items:
- Mesencephalic Reticular Formation, Medial Column (MM.RF.MED)
- Cuneiform Nucleus (LLC.MM.CNF): Passive coping strategy to novel, painful or threatening stimuli
- Subcuneiform Nucleus (LLC.MM.SCNF): Initiation of gait, feedback control of saccade accuracy
- Mesencephalic Reticular Formation, Midline Column (MM.RF.MID)
- Superior Central Raphe Nucleus (LMC.MM.RF.SUC): Block or temporarily suspend mnemonic processes in the hippocampus; Hallucinations
- Dorsal Raphe Nucleus (LMC.MM.RP.DRN): Regulation of sleep and mood
- Raphe Interpositus Nucleus (LRC.MM.RP.RIP): Premotor network for saccades
- Raphe Nucleus Linearis (LMC.HP.RP.LI): Release of 5-HT was only obtained on stimulation of this nucleus
