Pain and temperature in the thalamus is controlled by the nucleus: (A) Ventroposterior Medial, (B) Ventroposterior lateral, (C) Ventral anterior, (D) Ventral lateral
Answer is B. Ventroposterior medial nuclei receive trigeminothalamic afferents and relay to postcentral gyrus. 
Ventroposterior lateral nuclei receive spinothalamic (Pain and temperature) and medial lemniscus afferents and relays to the cerebral cortex.
