The neopallium (Latin for "new mantle") is a part of the brain of mammals.
The structure of the neopallium is relatively uniform (whence the names "iso" and "homotypical"): it consists of six horizontal layers segregated by cell type, neuronal input, or cell density.

In the anatomy of animals, the neopallium or neocortex is a part of the telencephalon in the brain.
Often seen as the hallmark of human intelligence, the role of this structure in the brain appears to be involved in conscious thought, spatial reasoning, and sensory perception.

Prenatal gliogenesis in the developing cerebrum of the mouse.The deployment of radially oriented glial cells within the neopallium was already apparent by E-12, at which time the expanded endfeet of processes abutting the basement membrane at the pial surface showed ultrastructural evidence of glial differentiation.
Indirect immunofluorescence for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was detected at the outer margins of the neopallium at E-12, antedating the expression of GFAP in radially organized fibers.
These findings provide evidence of early gliogenesis in the developing mouse forebrain and indicate that GFAP is as readily demonstrable in mouse astrocytes and radial glial fibers as it is in those of man and subhuman primates.
Profound development of the neopallium, which comprises the cerebral cortex, is unique among humans and Old World monkeys.
More complex vertebrates such as mammals have developed a six-layered neocortex (other terms: homotypic cortex, neocortex, neopallium), in addition to having some parts of the brain that are allocortex (Martin, 1996).

The Ngn2- and Pax6-positive neopallium (K, M) is present laterally in the double mutant (L, N); the Dlx1-positive subpallium is normally found (O, P).
In this stage of the wild-type telencephalon, the Msx1 expression is intense in the choroid plexus and ventral cortical hem but weak in the choroidal roof (Q); the Msx1 expression is intense in the double mutant roof (R).
Gal intensity is discontinuous at a boundary (arrowheads) between the neopallium and archipallium.

In man it is rudimentary, whereas the neopallium undergoes great development and forms the chief part of the hemisphere.
They were thus regarded as a part of the rhinencephalon, but it is now recognized that they belong to the neopallium; the cingulate gyrus is therefore sometimes described as a part of the frontal lobe, and the hippocampal as a part of the temporal lobe.
The cingulate gyrus (gyrus cinguli; callosal convolution) is an arch-shaped convolution, lying in close relation to the superficial surface of the corpus callosum, from which it is separated by a slit-like fissure, the callosal fissure.

In light of this information of the development of neopallium over time, a further questions arise, here are a few.
Are there further "layers", i.e neopallium enlarging or more additional layers to be expected?
This is where I think you will REALLY enjoy The Dragons of Eden, because Sagan draws a fascinating correlation between evolution and information storage.
Amphibians develop archipallium and paleopallium (paleopallium: more facts about this subject), whereas reptiles develop archipallium, paleopallium and a primitive neopallium (neopallium: The cortical part of the neencephalon).
