Bulbar Control of Cortical Arousal

Bulbar Control of Cortical Arousal

M Bonvallet et al. Science. .

Abstract

In the cat, the cortical arousal induced by reticular or nociceptive stimulation is more intense and more long-lasting after elimination of the caudal and medial part of the medulla than in preparations with intact brain. This difference is explained by the intervention of a phasic-ascending inhibitory bulbar control secondarily triggered by the mesencephalic activating system.
