The two functional brain systems which are composed of structures that are scattered throughout the brain are the reticular formation and the limbic system.

Explanation:

  • The reticular formation is a network of neurons located throughout the brainstem that is involved in various functions, including regulating sleep-wake cycles and filtering incoming stimuli to discriminate irrelevant background stimuli.
  • The limbic system is a complex set of structures located on both sides of the thalamus, just under the cerebrum. It is involved in emotions, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. The limbic system includes structures such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus.

These systems are not confined to a single, localized area but are instead distributed across various parts of the brain, which is why they are described as being composed of scattered structures.
