Set up the stage! The picture shows the central nervous system as seen from behind. Hay-click in the image and "zoom out". Center using the arrow cross! Compare with the initial steps in the picture "Central Nervous System Nuclei"! Deselect 1/ and 2/. Uncheck a) empty f) if/when you think they are disturbing. Deselect 3/ and 4/. Unfold the list 5/ with thalamus nuclei and repeat these if necessary. Then uncheck 5/! The stage is now set up. NB! Place and move the image around the way you want it on the screen, use different magnifications, and go through lists (Help).

Step 1.

Formatio reticularis subdivisions and nuclei. Activate the three lists in turn. Unfold the list and go into the database for details (click on the name in the list). Then collapse the list and activate the next list, etc. The bottom list is long. Start by extinguishing the different structures from the top down. When all are extinguished, then light from the bottom and go up. Use the database for details.

Step 2.

Formatio Reticularis Cell Groups: Cell groups of formatio reticularis that produce special transmitter and modulator substances. Activate the six lists in turn and expand them. The bottom list is the same as in step 1.Here it is now possible to combine the top five lists with subsets of the bottom list. Try!! Example: enable the adrenaline and norepinephrine lists. Activate, unfold, "extinguish all" and then light - in the "Formatio reticular nuclei" - the dorsal vagus nucleus, the parasympathetic part of the ambiguus nucleus and the solitary nucleus. Now notice how the A1 and A2 groups together with the C1, C2, C3 groups together with the unmentioned nuclei, all important for autonomic nervous system functions, especially blood circulation and respiration.
