claustrum of brain

claustrum

Between the lentiform nucleus and the insula lies a thin lamina of grey matter, the claustrum, counted by some sources among the basal ganglia of each cerebral hemisphere. It forms a vertical curved sheet of subcortical grey matter oriented sagittally between the white matter of the external capsule and the extreme capsule, and its thickness ranges from a fraction of a millimetre to several millimetres. In topographic terms it is lateral to the putamen and medial to the insular cortex, and it is suspected to be present in all mammals. Lateral and medial tracts connect it to many cortical areas and perhaps to the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the caudate nucleus, though its connections with subcortical centres remain a matter of debate.

One of the four basal ganglia in each cerebral hemisphere that consists of a thin lamina of gray matter between the lentiform nucleus and the insula[BTO]. The claustrum, which is suspected to be present in all mammals, is a fairly thin (fraction of 1 mm to multiple mms) vertical curved sheet of subcortical gray matter oriented sagittally between the white matter tracts of the external capsule and extreme capsule. The claustrum is lateral to the putamen and medial to the insular cortex and is considered by some sources to be part of the basal ganglia. There are lateral and medial tracts connecting to many cortices and perhaps to the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the caudate nucleus (connections with subcortical centers are a matter of debate)[WP].
