Visual, auditory, and somatosensory information is, via several thalamic nuclei, relayed to the reptilian forebrain. These thalamotelencephalic projections terminate primarily in the dorsal ventricular ridge in a non-overlapping way. Subsequent parallel processing of the three sensory modalities throughout the DVR, striatum and globus pallidus resembles the fundamentally parallel form of organization in the mammalian basal ganglia. The lack of direct projections to the thalamus and the absence of extensive, intrinsic connections make a comparison of the dorsal ventricular ridge with the mammalian neocortex highly questionable.
视觉、听觉和躯体感觉信息通过几个丘脑核被中继到爬行动物的前脑。这些丘脑-端脑投射主要以不重叠的方式终止于背侧室嵴。随后，在整个背侧室嵴、纹状体和苍白球中对这三种感觉模态进行并行处理，这类似于哺乳动物基底神经节中基本的并行组织形式。缺乏直接投射到丘脑以及缺乏广泛的内在连接，使得将背侧室嵴与哺乳动物新皮层进行比较非常值得怀疑。
