Recent work on the Reticular Formation has suggested that it makes up a number of Arousal networks, that work together to make up part of the attention system. Of interest to me is the Basal Frontal arousal network which seems to be a serotonin based channel that is driven by a link from the reticular formation. From earlier attempts to understand attention, I have suggested an arousal link to the S synapse as part of delay memory. I therefore wonder if the basal-frontal arousal network is this link and terminates at the S synapse of memory neurons.
