BIS (Behavioral Inhibition System) is responsible for responding to potential threats and suppressing behavior to avoid them. It is more active in individuals who prefer calm and quiet environments. BAS (Behavioral Activation System) is responsible for seeking rewards, which is not a priority for Katya. The reticular formation is a network of neurons that regulate arousal levels rather than responding to specific environments.
