[edit] Very nice article so far..
Is it just me or is this article pretty well put together? I mean, it seems to be very accessable and down to earth while explaining some good info. Rhetth 16:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm changing the introduction for precision. "It is absolutely essential for the basic functions of life and is phylogenetically one of the oldest portions of the brain." Absolutely essential is redundant. Also, plants, bacteria, starfish, ect. don't have a Reticular formation, yet they have life. Thus I will change it to: "It is essential for governing some of the basic functions of higher organisms, while being phylogenetically one of the oldest portions of the brain."Niubrad 07:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, I don't really know if "lying down" has much to do the Reticular formation. Lying down is more of a motor process.Niubrad 21:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
