What is the complex of tiny islands of gray matter within the brain that acts as a filter for incoming sensory impulses?
reticular formation
What is the main function of the reticular formation in the brain?
The reticular formation is located in the portion of the brainstem known as the pons. Its functions are primarily that of regulating the sleep/wake cycle, and assist in the function of discriminating incoming stimuli (which could impact the sleep/wake cycle, as well).
