Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The topography of thalamic strokes is associated with broader stroke syndrome 3. Both isolated thalamic (lacunar) strokes and posterior cerebral artery territorial strokes most commonly present involving the ventrolateral territory. In contrast, basilar and vertebrobasilar (extended posterior circulation) strokes most commonly involve the posteromedial territory of the thalamus."

Line 75:251 · Use the Oxford comma in 'contrast, basilar and vertebrobasilar'.
