Reticular formation

Simplified anatomical illustration of the human brainstem in vertical or side-view section, shown in muted beige-pink tones with the reticular formation highlighted as a diffuse net-like structure running through the central core of the midbrain, pons, and medulla. The reticular formation appears as an irregular elongated vertical mesh of branching neural fibers with small node-like cell bodies, rendered in contrasting pale yellow, orange, or yellow-pink. The network is loose and interwoven rather than solid, forming a delicate column within the narrow brainstem-shaped form.
