also, =importantly=, the addition of the epicritic system transforms the
older neural architecture... it doesn't just add to it... after the
development of the epicritic system, the reticular system becomes an
intimately-integrated "part" of the global system, and it'S (the
reticular system's) contributions to the functioning of the global
system are indispensible even with respect to the highest "levels" of
CNS function... cognition... curiosity, creativity, volition,
"conscience", etc...
...the reticular system is =not= just "the coelenterata within"... :-)
