Pallium (anatomy) 490122 214206537 2008-05-22T15:30:48Z Kelson 68189 fr: ''This article refers to the anatomical structure called a "pallium". For the religious garment, click [[Pallium|here]].'' In the [[anatomy]] of [[animal]]s, the '''pallium''' is a part of the brain that is the [[evolution]]ary precedent of the [[telencephalon|cerebrum]]. The human pallium (''cloak'' in [[Latin]]) envelops the brain stem. The cerebrum has been described as having three parts: the [[archipallium]], the [[paleopallium]] and the [[neopallium]]. In [[fish]], the archipallium is the largest part of the cerebrum. Some researchers suggest the early archipallium gave rise to the human [[hippocampus]]. In amphibians, the cerebrum includes archipallium, paleopallium and some of the [[basal ganglia|basal nuclei]]. Reptiles first developed a [[neopallium]], which continued to develop in the brains of more [[phylogeny|recent species]] to become the [[neocortex]] of [[human]]s and [[Old World monkey]]s. {{neuroanatomy-stub}} [[Category:Cerebrum]] [[Category:Neuroanatomy]] [[fr:Pallium (anatomie)]]
