In the
neuroanatomy of
animals, an avian pallium is the dorsal
telencephalon of a
bird's brain. The subpallium is the ventral
telencephalon.
The
pallium of
avian species tends to be relatively large, comprising ~75% of the telencephalic volume. Birds have a unique pallial structure known as the
hyperpallium
The hyperpallium (formerly called the hyperstriatum or the wulst) is the destination for lemnothalamic projections in birds. The projections as well as the granular cells at the destination of the lemnothalamic projections to the hyperpallium are ...
