Abstract:In vertebrates, advanced cognitive abilities are associated with a highly developed telencephalic pallium. In mammals, the six-layered neocortex of the pallium is composed of excitatory neurons and inhibitory interneurons, organized across layers into microcircuits. These organizational principles are proposed to support efficient, high-level information processing. Comparative perspectives across vertebrates provide a lens to understand what common features of pallium are important for complex cognition. For … Show more
