An overview of the fundamental ways that the brainstem influences
the initiation, mediation, and regulation of behavior--and the first
major survey in the subject since the appearance of the classic
work, The Reticular Formation Revisted. Also featured are an
introductory tutorial section that synthesizes research discoveries
with the historical milestones in brainstem research, basic
neuroanatomy, arousal, etc., that are related to behavorial
``readiness,'' sensory and motor functions, and neuroendocrine and
autonomic functions. The latter part of the book features a series
of specialized topics, each written by a noted authority in the
field.
