The subpallial region of the avian telencephalon contains neural systems whose
functions are critical to the survival of individual vertebrates and their species. The
subpallial neural structures can be grouped into five major functional systems, namely
the dorsal somatomotor basal ganglia; ventral viscerolimbic basal ganglia; subpallial
extended amygdala including the central and medial extended amygdala and bed nuclei
of the stria terminalis; basal telencephalic cholinergic and non-cholinergic corticopetal
systems; and septum. The paper provides an overview of the major developmental, neuroanatomical
and functional characteristics of the first four of these neural systems, all of
which belong to the lateral telencephalic wall. The review particularly focuses on new
findings that have emerged since the identity, extent and terminology for the regions
were considered by the Avian Brain Nomenclature Forum. New terminology is introduced
as appropriate based on the new findings. The paper also addresses regional similarities
and differences between birds and mammals, and notes areas where gaps in knowledge
occur for birds.
