Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brainstem, primarily responsible for maintaining sleep and wakefulness. It helps in filtering and prioritizing sensory information and plays a significant role in regulating alertness and attention.  The other options, including the cerebral cortex, limbic system, and cerebellum, are involved in various functions, but they are not primarily responsible for maintaining sleep and wakefulness.
