Q

Intralaminar nuclei

  • Afferent
  • Efferent
  • Reticular formation:
  • IC:
A

Learned/new motor movements

  • Afferent: reticular formation, basal ganglia, limbic system
  • Efferent: cerebral cortex and basal ganglia
  • Reticular formation: arosal and awareness. Filters out S info so only most useful to survival is perceived
