Finally, Magoun recorded potentials within the medial portion of the brain stem and discovered that auditory stimuli directly fired portions of the reticular activating system.

This theory was argued by proponents until Lindsley led a team to perform the experiments that established the validity to this new system, the ascending reticular activating system.
13.
Process S is driven by the depletion of glycogen and accumulation of adenosine in the forebrain that disinhibits the Ventrolateral preoptic nucleus, allowing for inhibition of the ascending reticular activating system.
14.
Although unaware of the reticular activating system, discovered 14 years later by Guiseppi Moruzzi and Horace Magoun, Bremer attributed the sleep-wake cycle to the effects of sensory input to the brain.

The system which regulates sleep, arousal, and transitions between these states in humans is composed of three interconnected subsystems : the orexin projections from the lateral hypothalamus, the reticular activating system, and the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus.
16.
It involves activation of the reticular activating system in the brainstem, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure and a condition of sensory alertness, mobility, and readiness to respond.
17.
In 1939 Batini's experiment performed his experiment in which he stimulated of different areas of the reticular activating system, and his results concluded that sleep is not dependent on an influx or lack of stimulus from the body.

Made up of a system of acetylcholine-producing neurons, the ascending track, or ascending reticular activating system ( ARAS ), works to arouse and wake up the brain, from the RF, through the thalamus, and then finally to the cerebral cortex.
19.
One such example is the heterogeneous collection of more than two dozen nuclei on each side of the upper brainstem ( pons, midbrain and in the posterior hypothalamus ), collectively referred to as the reticular activating system ( RAS ).
20.
This was observed by two experiments : development of sleepiness after dopamine neuron destruction in substantia nigra in the midbrain, and discovery of the reticular activating system, which are visual cues received through our eyes and to our brain that begin the waking process, that waking consciousness depends sleep.
