So I traced the D1 loop back to its origin, which is the substantia nigra connecting to the reticular formation(brainstem) of the midbrain all the way down to the medulla oblongata region. Why is reticular formation interesting? Because it governs all the reflex action such as breathing, heart beat, consciousness, and sneezing. The way it generates consciousness is it provides dopaminergic signal to the striaum through the substantia nigra of the D1 loop(how I trace it back to reticular formation) and provides a constant beat of signal.

My question:

How are the nuclei(group of neurons) in the reticular formation capable of providing(generating) a precise signal or frequency of signals to the striatum to create a unique consciousness? Think of a ball of neurons emanating pulse of electromagnetic radiation. That is how I think the signal is generated. But as you can see, I place this on the speculation forum, so any comments and corrections are welcomed.

P.S. Something must set the timing to the nuclei, an example would be the music box.

If you know the answer you are free to tell me as to which nuclei in the reticular formation in the brainstem I should modify to change the consciousness frequency. And how the nuclei should be modified.

P.S. The idea is they sort of look like an earphone, not a headphone. The volume control in the middle(reticular formation) leading to both ear pieces resembling the striatums on both sides.
