missing pallium subdivisions?

[ANiknejad]

Hi Chris,

[UBERON:0000203: pallium, dorsal part of telencephalon]

and

PMID:11923018
"the pallial region of the teleost telencephalon contains subdivisions presumably homologous with various pallial areas in amniotes, including possibly a homologue of the medial pallium or hippocampus."
...
"as a consequence of the eversion process that characterizes telencephalic development in actinopterygians, the telencephalic area that occupies a topological position equivalent to the amniote medial pallium or hippocampus is the lateral pallium."
...
Sounds like some pallium subdivisions (lateral, medial) are missing in Uberon?

Not sure 'medial pallium' can be considered as hippocampus synonym as claimed in this article, because:
WP: The medial pallium forms the precursor of the hippocampus. It does not resemble the hippocampus visually because the layers are not warped into an S shape or enfolded by the dentate gyrus, but the homology is indicated by strong chemical and functional affinities.

Thank you for your help

Anne

We have this in uberon/ext (all the IDs starting with 2xxx)

• UBERON:0001890 ! forebrain
  • UBERON:0001893 ! telencephalon
    • UBERON:0000203 ! pallium
    • UBERON:0000956 ! cerebral cortex
    • UBERON:0002023 ! claustrum of brain

    • UBERON:2000536 ! lateral zone of D
    • UBERON:2000589 ! sulcus ypsiloniformis

Note that ext will be more deeply incorporated into the next release - ie compositze-metazoan will use this as the source.

However, as can be seen, some parts of this ontology - particularly neuroanatomy - may need work. These is also an odd terminology issue inherited from TAO (s/D/dorsal telencepahlon/ - or pallium)

Thank you Chris.
