  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Avian pallium
In the anatomy of animals, an avian pallium is the dorsal telencephalon of a bird's brain.
Pallium of avian species tend to be relatively large, comprising ~75% of the telencephalic volume.
Both the mammalian and avian systems are characterized by major thalamic input to the telencephalon (e.g., layer IV in mammals; the core ectostriatum in birds) which is then relayed to overlying areas (layer IV projections to layers II and III in mammals; core ectostriatum projections to peri-ectostriatal belt and overlying neostriatum in birds).

It's evident that while homologizing mammalian and avian pallium is extremely contentious, there has been general agreement that the basal ganglia (BG) can be more easily compared, and thus a homology-based system of nomenclature for the avian BG is within reach.
For example, the avian pallidum (PP) doesn't seem to be divided into internal and external segments as it is in mammals, and PA (or least caudalmost PA) lacks ChAT+ neurons and personal observations).
Thus, a substantial part of the avian striatum outside of specialized vocal regions seems to constitute a striatum/pallidum hybrid, unlike the mammalian dorsal striatum as it is currently understood.

  Evolution of the Amniote Brain
The pallium is divisible into dorsal, lateral (olfactory or piriform), and medial (limbic) divisions.
Both the mammalian and avian systems are characterized by major thalamic input to the telencephalon (e.g., layer IV in mammals; the core ectostriatum in birds) which is then relayed to overlying areas (layer IV projections to layers II and III in mammals; core ectostriatum projections to peri-ectostriatal belt and overlying neostriatum in birds).
Avian ADVR organization, in conjunction with the outdated "-striatum" designation for avian forebrain structures, may unnecessarily confuse comparisons of neuroanatomy and function of amniote sensory systems.

The flightless Palaeognaths, the Ostrich group, were first to diverge from the avian lineage, and it is now thought that the basal divergence from the remaining Neognathes was that of the Galloanseri, the superorder containing the Anseriformes (ducks, geese and swans), and the Galliformes (the pheasants, grouse and their allies.

In amphibians, three targets are found: the lateral pallium for olfactory input, the medial pallium for visual and multisensory input, and the lateral subpallium for visual, octavolateral and somatosensory information.
Specific fields within the collothalamic lateral division of the dorsal pallium form the extrastriate, auditory, secondary somatosensory, and related cortices in mammals and the visual, auditory, somatosensory, and related areas of the dorsal ventricular ridge in non-synapsid amniotes.
In this context, sensory projections that in reptiles end in the ventral pallium, are observed to terminate in the isocortex (dorsal pallium) of mammals, perhaps owing to their participation in these associative networks.

 IEC 2005: Hungary - Searching for abstracts
Based on the brain expression pattern of 40 constitutive and behaviorally-regulated genes in songbirds and a subset of these in other avian orders, we present a novel view of the functional organization of the avian cerebrum.
The behaviorally-regulated gene expression patterns reveal that the avian cerebrum has functional columnar organization analogous to that found in mammalian cortex and associated striatum.
When viewed globally, the results suggest that the avian pallium has four major cell groupings, a primary sensory neuron group (intercalated nidopallium and intercalated hyperpallium), a secondary group (nidopallium and hyperpallium), a tertiary group (ventral and dorsal mesopallium), and an output group (the arcopallium).

 FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Article about birds having "minds of their own."
The avian brain is as complex, flexible and inventive as any mammalian brain, they argue, and it is time to adopt a more accurate nomenclature that reflects a new understanding of the anatomies of bird and mammal brains.
But the realization that one can study mammal brains by using bird brains, he said, "is a revolution." "I think that birds are going to replace the white rat as the favored subject for studying functional neuroanatomy," he added.
Avian brains got their bad reputation a century ago from the German neurobiologist Ludwig Edinger, known as the father of comparative anatomy.

That in turn makes the designation of PA and LPO as “lateral striatum” and “medial striatum” at least somewhat problematic.

The abundance of juxtapositions observed in the avian brainstem and medial striatum corroborates the possibility of reciprocal striato-tegmental circuits, relevant to the reinforcement of behaviour.
The locus ceruleus of this and other avian atlases was noted to consist of a caudal noradrenergic part homologous to the mammalian locus coeruleus and a rostral region corresponding to the mammalian A8 dopaminergic cell group.

Although an explanation for the evolutionary development of the reptilian DVR is still needed, we suggest that the mammalian isocortex originated in the dorsal pallium by virtue of the relations of the dorsal cortex with the medial/dorsomedial cortex (hippocampus) and the olfactory cortex (Fig.
This suggests that not all forms of spatial memory depend on the hippocampus in birds.] We are proposing that the difference in hippocampal sensory input between reptiles/birds and mammals was a key factor in the development of the isocortex from the dorsal pallium of mammals.
One important assumption held by several workers is that the modern reptilian brain represents a stage similar to that of the ancestral mammals.
