Preferred Label : dorsal ventricular ridge of pallium;
Uberon definition : A large expansion of the lateral wall of the telencephalon, located in the pallium.
Found in reptiles and birds;
Uberon synonym : dorsal ventricular ridge;
Uberon related term : DVR;
Uberon Taxon note : Because of the phyletic continuity of the DVR in living reptiles and birds, and its
numerous similarities in topography, histology, and connections in these two groups,
there is little question that the DVR of reptiles and birds is homologous as a telencephalic
neural center. In contrast, the telencephalon in living mammals does not appear to
have a DVR. It has been suggested, however, that their predecessors did have such
a ridge, and that its cells migrated to the surface of the telencephalon during development
to form part of the cerebral cortices which characterize all living mammals (Karten,
1969, 1991)[http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/743.full];
