They are primitive characters and are homologous among all vertebrates.[well established][VHOG] BAMS:CSTR striated body The corpus striatum (striated body) is a compound structure consisting of the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus, which consists of the putamen and the globus pallidus[WP]. neuronames:2339 * According to the 1917 version of Gray's Anatomy, it is the combination of the lentiform nucleus (also known as the lenticular nucleus) and the caudate nucleus * According to BrainInfo it is a part of the basal ganglia comprising the globus pallidus and striatum SCTID:279318005 VHOG:0001175 BTO:0001311 CALOHA:TS-0183 UMLS:C0010097 EMAPA:17549 EV:0100184 Wikipedia:Corpus_striatum basal ganglion regional part of brain
