While i was watching the PASS Usmle Videos (By Dr.Francis) He mentioned that The neurons that arise from the Nucleus Gracilis ( Which represents the Lower Limbs ) goes to the VPM, and the Nucleus Cuneatus fibers goes to the VPL ... On The Kaplan DVD's Dr.White says that ALL THE FIBERS from both nuclei ( Gracilis & Cuneatus ) goes to the VPL ... we are talking Dorsal Column-medial meniscal-pathway ... Could you help me out guys please ?

Thank you so much
