The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It relays sensory information from second-order neurons of the neospinothalamic tract and the medial lemniscus, which synapse with third-order neurons in the nucleus.
- These then project to the primary somatosensory cortex in the postcentral gyrus.
- There is uncertainty regarding the location of VMpo, as determined by spinothalamic tract terminations and calcium-binding protein staining, and several authorities do not consider its existence as being proved.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ventral posterolateral nucleus article was read about 4,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 45 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
