Recovery of multiply injured ascending reticular activating systems in a stroke patient

摘要

Consciousness is controlled by activation of the ascending reticular activating system(ARAS).The ARAS consists mainly of the lower and upper parts between the thalamus and cerebral cortex(Edlow et al.,2012;Yeo et al.,2013;Jang et al.,2014).Because the ARAS is composed of several neuronal circuits connecting the brainstem to the cortex.These neuronal connections begin from the reticular formation(RF)of the brainstem and the in-
