ResumoThe reticular formation of the brainstem contains functional cell groups that are important for the control of eye, head, or lid movements. The mesencephalic reticular formation is primarily involved in the control of vertical gaze, the paramedian pontine reticular formation in horizontal gaze, and the medullary pontine reticular formation in head movements and gaze holding. In this chapter, the locations, connections, and histochemical properties of the functional cell groups are reviewed and correlated with specific subdivisions of the reticular formation.
