Rationale for change
No cards mention the tectospinal tract; while perhaps not relevant enough to get its own card, mentioning in "Extras" section may help round out information on spinal tracts, especially since all other extrapyramidal tracts have been mentioned on cards at least once (i.e., rubrospinal, reticulospinal, vestibulospinal).
