Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Posture is modulated by what structure?
A
Reticular formation
B
cerebrum
C
cerebellum
D
vestibular nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Somatic motor control – Some motor neurons send their axons to the reticular formation nuclei, giving rise to the reticulospinal tracts of the spinal cord. These tracts function in maintaining tone, balance, and posture – especially during body movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The relevant neurons in the reticular formation initiate adjustments that stabilize posture during ongoing movements. The way the upper motor neurons of the reticular formation maintain posture can be appreciated by analyzing their activity during voluntary movements.
