In mammals it is divided into a lateral and a median portion by fibers from the cerebral cortex which bisect it. The lateral portion is designated as the Putamen and the median portion as the Nucleus caudatus. Several ganglia—Globus pallidus—lie on the median side of the Putamen, whose nature is not yet understood, and which are so closely associated with the Putamen that they are grouped with the latter and the whole ganglion-complex called the Nuc. lentiformis. This will be more fully discussed subsequently. In birds the Putamen and both portions of the Globus pallidiis are demonstrable, but the divisions of this portion of the striatum from the Nuc. caudatus is not so sharp as in mammals, because the fibers from the cortex which, as Capsula interna in mammals, separates the two portions are in birds only slightly developed. ISTotwithstanding that, one can with certainty recognize in birds.
