Avian pallium
Template:Short description 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.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The avian pallium has also been suggested to be an equivalent neural basis for consciousness.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
A 2002 conference at Duke University (Avian Brain Nomenclature Consortium) established a standard nomenclature for describing the avian pallium as follows:<ref name="avianbrain.org 2011">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Ebert 2005 pp. 449–449">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Reiner Perkel Bruce Butler pp. 377–414">Template:Cite journal</ref>
