Aresearcher has decided to lesion different parts of a cat’s brain and observe the effects on the cat’s behavior. after the surgery, the researcher notices that the cat is having trouble walking in a straight line. the cat also does not respond to the researcher randomly blowing a whistle like it did before the surgery. the researcher also noted that the cat’s sleep/wake cycle has changed since the surgery. what part of the brain did the researcher most likely lesion?

reticular formation

Explanation:

A matrix consisting of nerve fibers as well as cell bodies of the neurons that form a greater part of the core of the brainstem is termed as the reticular formation. The reticular formation extends from the medulla to the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus. The main function of the neurons of the reticular formation is to maintain consciousness and motor arousal.

In brief this region controls the following :

1. somatic motor control

2. cardiovascular control

3. sleep

4. consciousness

5. habituation

6. pain modulation

Since the cat is having problems with the sleep-wake cycle, does not respond to the researcher, there is a change in behavior and inability to walk on straight line. This points out to damage in the reticular formation.
