TL;DR
Because of the relatively poor differentiation of the cat’s associational nuclei and cortex, more conclusive evidence was sought in the macaque, which, with its higher order of both cortical and sub-cortical development, more closely simulates the human brain.

The possibility is considered that a background of maintained activity within this ascending brain stem activating system may account for wakefulness, while reduction of its activity either naturally, by barbiturates, or by experimental injury and disease, may respectively precipitate normal sleep, contribute to anesthesia or produce pathological somnolence.

Poverty of behavior after lesions of the reticular activating system suggests that its influences may be directed both cephalically to activate the EEG and caudally to facilitate motor activity, in maintaining the waking state.

The results indicate that the ventromedial part of the thalamus is most critically involved in transmission of the reticular activating influence, with the rest of theThalamus (including the diffuse thalamic projection system) playing a subsidiary role.

274 Citations1949John Hunter
It is concluded from observations in the cat that the diffuse thalamo-cortical projection system which is called the thalamic reticular system has a very widespread and profound effect on behaviour as a whole and may be involved in the mechanism of petit mal and generalized convulsive seizures as seen in man.

The results suggest that the diffuse projection system is organized for mass thalamic influence upon associational cortex.

The findings establish the existence of collaterals from these sensory systems to the brain stem reticular formation, the rich wealth of which has never previously been suspected, and appear to enlarge outlooks in afferent conduction far beyond those which have been envisioned within the circumscribed limits imposed by classical sensory paths.

238 Citations1949Jerzy E. Rose, Clinton N. Woolsey
The available data concordantly suggest that the mammalian thalamus consists of three divisions different from each other in their phylogenetic and ontogenetic development and in their relations to the cortex.

It is demonstrated that direct high-frequency stimulation of this medial system desynchronized electrocortical activity in a manner exactly paralleling arousal from sleep or.

From the results presented, it would seem that the ascending portion of the reticular system in the more caudal part of the brain stem exerts its effect upon the electrical activity of the cortex in a generalized manner, without evidence of topographic localization.

Excerpt Philosophers may argue as to whether pain is a sensation or an emotion, but as a sensation it has a threshold, a quality and a localization.

Evidence is revealed suggesting that none of the intralaminar nuclei and the reticular nucleus, which have been postulated to make up such a diffuse thalamo-cortical projection system, possesses a direct diffuse projection to neocortex.

There is no need of postulating the existence of recruiting phenomena and of fluctuations in excitability primarily localized within the cerebral cortex, although it has not been disproved.
