title: A quantitative approach to cytoarchitectonics. X. The areal pattern of the neostriatum in the domestic pigeon, Columba livia f.d. A cyto- and myeloarchitectonical study.
abstract: The areal pattern of the neostriatum of the domestic pigeon, Columba livia f.d., is described in detail. The map was completed with the help of cyto- and myeloarchitectonical studies during which both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied. The map is divided into 16 areas which are characterized in this paper. Most of these areas can be interpreted as being not only structural but also functional units. The areas Ne 1, Ne 7, and Ne 12 represent primary projection fields. The areas Ne 2, Ne 4, Ne 5, Ne 9, Ne 13, and Ne 14 can be regarded as associative areas, closely connected with the primary areas. The areas Ne 6, Ne 11, Ne 15, and Ne 16 are described with regard to a possible integrative function.
