Attention of the Human Reticular Formation and Thalamic Intralaminar Nuclei In the article Activation by Attention of the Human Reticular Formation and Thalamic Intralaminar Nuclei by Shigeo Kinomura‚ Jonas Larsson‚ Balázs Gulyás‚ and Per E. Roland (1996)‚ they address whether or not the midbrain reticular formation and the thalamic intralaminar nuclei of the brain actually cause arousal and vigilance.

The basic idea of star formation is gravitational collapse – the contraction of a region of gas under the influence of gravity. This is a simple process that would be expected to occur in any region of material dense enough for collisions between atoms to radiate away energy. However‚ the gas must be dense enough for collisions to occur and the temperature must be low enough for the atomic velocities not to be able to escape the system’s gravity‚ so star formation only occurs in a few areas. The
