Uberon definition : Regional part of telencephalon in some species, e.g., rodent, equivalent to the dorsal
striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen). Unlike the dorsal striatum of primates, for
example, the caudoputamen is not split into separate nuclei by the fibers of the internal
capsule. Rather, the internal capsule splits into fiber bundles which course through
the structure.;
