Based on quantitative cluster analyses of 52 constitutively expressed or behaviorally
regulated genes in 23 brain regions, we present a global view of telencephalic organization …

The neocortex facilitates mammalian adaptive radiation by conferring highly sophisticated
cognitive and motor abilities. A unique feature of the mammalian neocortex is its laminar …

The six-layered neocortex is a unique characteristic of mammals and likely provides the
neural basis of their sophisticated cognitive abilities. Although all mammalian species share …

Recent reports have shown that the avian visual dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR) is organized
as a trilayered complex, in which the forming layers—the thalamo‐recipient entopallium (E) …

During development, cell‐intrinsic and cell‐extrinsic factors play important roles in neuronal
differentiation; however, the underlying mechanisms in nonmammalian species remain …

Studies of gene expression and fiber connections have suggested that the primary visual
(entopallium) and auditory (field L2) centers in the avian telencephalon are homologous to …

The tectofugal pathway in birds consists of four stations, the retina, optic tectum, rotundal
nucleus, and entopallium, and it conveys visual information via three ascending pathways …

A neocortical hypothesis as to homology of certain nuclear components of the avian brain
proposes that the entopallium and field L2 are homologous to layer 4 of mammalian …

We report the results of our studies of the distribution patterns of calcium-binding proteins
(parvalbumin, PV, and calbindin, CB) and metabolic activity (cytochrome oxidase, CO) in the …

Immunoreactivity for calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin (PV) and calbindin (CB) was
studied in the pigeon (Columba livia) telencephalic auditory center. All its regions displayed …
