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.
1 The oculomotor nucleus: This nucleus is located in the upper part of the midbrain at the level of the superior colliculus. 2  The oculomotor nuclei (left and right sides) form a single complex that lies in the central grey matter, ventral to the cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius). The motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve: This cranial nucleus lies in the upper part of the pons, in the pons' dorsal part. 2  It is situated in the lateral part of the reticular formation, medial to the main sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve.
