Aresearcher has decided to lesion different parts of a cat’s brain and observe the effects on the cat’s behavior. after the surgery, the researcher notices that the cat is having trouble walking in a straight line. the cat also does not respond to the researcher randomly blowing a whistle like it did before the surgery. the researcher also noted that the cat’s sleep/wake cycle has changed since the surgery. what part of the brain did the researcher most likely lesion?

reticular formation

Explanation:

In brief this region controls the following :

1. somatic motor control

2. cardiovascular control

3. sleep

4. consciousness

5. habituation

6. pain modulation

Since the cat is having problems with the sleep-wake cycle, does not respond to the researcher, there is a change in behavior and inability to walk on straight line. This points out to damage in the reticular formation.
