It consists of dorsal raphe nucleus(midbrain), nucleus raphe pontis( pons), nucleus raphe magnus( medulla).The midbrain reticular formation consists of the dorsal tegmental nucleus, ventral tegmental nucleus, and cuneiform nucleus. Along with the oral pontine reticular nucleus, the midbrain reticular formation projects to the nucleus gigantocellularis.(Ref: vishram Singh textbook of clinical neuroanatomy second edition pg 226)
