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, once called the hyperstriatum. Evidence suggests the avian pallium's neuroarchitecture to be reminiscent of the mammalian cerebral cortex.[1] The avian pallium has also been suggested to be an equivalent neural basis for consciousness.[2][3]
A 2002 conference at Duke University (Avian Brain Nomenclature Consortium) established a standard nomenclature for describing the avian pallium as follows:[4][5][6][7]
Pallium
Pyriform cortex
Olfactory bulb
Hippocampus
Corticoid area
Hyperpallium
Apicale
Intercalatum
Densocellulare
Mesopallium
Dorsale
Ventrale
Nidopallium
Field L2
Entopallium
Basorostralis
Arcopallium
Amygdaloid complex
Posterior amygdala
Nucleus taeniae
Subpallium
Striatum
Lateral
Medial
Pallidum
Globus pallidus or dorsal pallidum
Ventral pallidum
