noun
1
a part of the cerebral cortex concerned with sight and hearing in mammals, regarded as the most recently evolved part of the cortex.
Previous opinion held that the malleable behavior of mammals required the higher-order neocortex found in mammals.

11. The Claustrum, a subcortical brain structure located between the neocortex and the striatum, is the most densely connected structure by volume in the human brain (Torgerson et al., 2015) and forms extensive reciprocal connections with the neocortex in mammals ranging from rodents to primates (Pearson et al., 1982; Fernández-Miranda et al., 2008; Zingg et al., 2014; Milardi et al

15. That's when the dinosaurs went extinct, that's when 75 percent of the animal and plant species went extinct, and that's when mammals overtook their ecological niche, and to anthropomorphize, biological evolution said, "Hmm, this neocortex is pretty good stuff," and it began to grow it.

16. Claustrum is a sheet-like subcortical region that is literally sandwiched between the external and extreme capsules in primate brains, and located just beneath the neocortex (above the external capsule) in lower mammalian brains ([]; for reviews: [2–6]).Anatomical data show cortico-claustral and claustro-cortical circuits involving most sensory neocortical regions.
