How can I restore reverse scroll on my Mac (Sonoma) mouse wheel?

On every Mac I've owned (that's a lot of Macs) I've been able to change the direction of the mouse wheel scroll from the Apple 'Natural' to my preferred reverse direction.

This seems to have been removed from Sonoma, along with the 'Mouse' item in System Settings.

How do I get it back? This backwards scrolling is driving me nuts.

Expanding on MrLord's response:

Does your mouse connect by bluetooth? If so, in Sonoma 14.3.1:

Go to System Settings > Bluetooth > My Devices > then choose your mouse

Next, click on the info button (circled "i"), then Mouse settings, then toggle "Natural scrolling" off
