neopallium

• “The larger the neopallium, which is the center of a great variety of coordinations among stimuli and responses, the more complex the potentialities of behavior.”

  The Human Brain

• “The neopallium is the dorsal cap of the brain, with frontal, parietal, and occipital areas, comprehending all that part of the brain which is the seat of the higher associative activities, reaching its fullest development in man.”

• “With the larger and more recently developed mammals, therefore, the cerebral cortex, which by then had become all neopallium, must wrinkle.”

  The Human Brain

• “This new portion of the OUR NEBVOUS SYSTEM 147 cortex is the neopallium (nee'oh-pal'ee-um; "new cloak" L).”

  The Human Brain

• “Some mammals, as they increased in size, enlarged the area of the neopallium more than in proportion, so they increased in intelligence as well.”

  The Human Brain

• “It is the enlarged neopallium, then, which makes mammals in general more intelligent than any other group of vertebrates and, indeed, more intelligent than any group of invertebrates.”

  The Human Brain

• “However, there is a large expansion in the size of the neopallium, which spreads out to cover the top half of the cerebral cortex.”

  The Human Brain

• “In the neopallium a greater variety of information is received and more complicated coordinations can be set up.”

  The Human Brain

• “To enlarge the neopallium at that rate, however, meant that it would outgrow the skull.”

  The Human Brain

• “This usually implies an increase in the size of the brain and, as a result, in the cerebrum and neopallium.”
