The cerebral hemispheres of reptiles and mammals. The pallium of reptiles has medial/dorsomedial (MC), dorsal (DC, corresponding to the avian hyperpallium) and lateral (LC) cortices; and a dorsal ventricular ridge, whose anterior part (ADVR) corresponds to the avian nido and mesopallium. The MC of reptiles corresponds to the hippocampus (HIP) of mammals, and the LC is homologous to the mammalian olfactory cortex (OC). The mammalian neocortex (NC) comprises two moieties, one dorsal (NCd, receiving lemnothalamic somatosensory and visual inputs), and one lateral (NCl, receiving auditory and visual collothalamic inputs). AM, pallial amygdalar formation, CL, claustrum, CS, corpus striatum, PSP, pallial-subpallial boundary.
