If you are maintaining your current body weight, you are in caloric balance. If you need to gain weight or to lose weight, you'll need to tip the balance scale in one direction or another to achieve your goal.
The ventral posterior nucleus is the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain. Ventral posterolateral nucleus, which receives sensory information from the body. 2  Ventral posteromedial nucleus, which receives sensory information from the head and face via the trigeminal nerve.
ventral posterior nucleus. the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain. receives neuronal input from the medial lemniscus, spinal lemniscus, spinothalamic tracts, and trigeminothalamic tract. It projects to the somatosensory cortex and the ascending reticuloactivation system.entral posterolateral nucleus (VPL). receives information from the neospinothalamic tract and the medial lemniscus of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. It then projects this sensory information to Brodmann's Areas 3, 1 and 2 in the postcentral gyrus.
