Claustrum
Definition:
(n.) A thin lamina of gray matter in each cerebral hemisphere of the brain of man.
Example Sentences:

(3) Injections of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) in the prefrontal, motor, somatosensory, auditory and visual areas, and HRP or WGA-HRP injections in the thalamus showed that: (1) the claustroneocortical projections originate in the dorsal claustrum and are distributed to the entire neocortex; these projections are mainly ipsilateral but some also originate contralaterally; (2) the claustroneocortical projections show a rough topographic organization; there exists a substantial degree of overlap; and (3) the claustrothalamic projection, arising throughout the dorsal claustrum, is strictly ipsilateral.
(4) However, the results clearly demonstrate a dorsoventral topographical organization in the connections between the claustrum and the cortex.
