THE RETICULAR FORMATION. PART II. THE BIOLOGY OF THE RETICULAR FORMATION.
Abstract
The paper describes and discusses a mode hypothesis for the performance of the reticular formation (RF) that postulates that the core of the RF is the structure that commits a vertebrate to one mode of behavior or another. If properly interpreted, the modes are mutually incompatible. In integrated, stable physiological pattern occurs for each mode. The paper discusses the definition of a mode, some relations between modes, and several elements involved in switching between modes. (Author)
