Short description: Dorsal telencephalon of a bird's brain

In the neuroanatomy of animals, an avian pallium is the dorsal telencephalon of a bird's brain. The subpallium is the ventral telencephalon.

The pallium of avian species tends to be relatively large, comprising ~75% of the telencephalic volume. Evidence suggests the avian pallium's neuroarchitecture to be reminiscent of the mammalian cerebral cortex.[1] The avian pallium has also been suggested to be an equivalent neural basis for consciousness.[2][3] Birds also have a unique pallial structure known as the hyperpallium, once called the hyperstriatum.

A 2002 conference at Duke University (Avian Brain Nomenclature Consortium) established a standard nomenclature for describing the avian pallium as follows:[4][5][6][7]
