Part of the mid-brain, it sends impulses to the cerebral cortex to keep it conscious and alert. It is also important for sleep and arousal.
it cotrols levels of arousal, alertness.
Stimulation of the reticular activating system makes us alert.
The primary role of the reticular activating system is to control the wake-sleep cycle. In other words, it controls when we wake up and the transition between sleeping and waking. The reticular activating system has a network of neurotrasmitters between the brainstem, medulla oblongata and the cerebral cortex that can transfer messages and signals to and fro.
