The prefrontal cortex of mammals is densely innervated with dopaminergic fibers. We report a comparable, dense network of catecholamine (probably dopamine)-containing fluorescent fibers in the posterodorsolateral neostriatum of the pigeon. This region is clearly separable from paleostriatum augmentatum, lobus parolfactorius, posterior archistriatum, posteromedial corticoid and septum, all of which also show strong catecholamine fluorescence. Parallel biochemical, anatomical and neurobehavioral data support the suggestion that posterodorsolateral neostriatum in the pigeon may be comparable to the mammalian prefrontal cortex. Thus the telencephalic tissue represented as the prefrontal cortex in mammals and the posterodorsolateral neostriatum in the pigeon, may turn out to be a phylogenetically ancient neural device.
哺乳动物的前额叶皮质有密集的多巴胺能纤维支配。我们报告了在鸽子后外侧新纹状体中存在一个类似的、密集的含儿茶酚胺（可能是多巴胺）的荧光纤维网络。该区域与增新纹状体、嗅觉叶、后古纹状体、后内侧皮质oid和隔膜明显分开，所有这些区域也显示出强烈的儿茶酚胺荧光。平行的生化、解剖和神经行为数据支持这样的观点，即鸽子的后外侧新纹状体可能与哺乳动物的前额叶皮质相当。因此，在哺乳动物中表现为前额叶皮质而在鸽子中表现为后外侧新纹状体的端脑组织，可能是一种系统发育上古老的神经装置。
