The larger the neopallium, which is the center of a great variety of coordinations among stimuli and responses, the more complex the potentialities of behavior. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
The neopallium is the dorsal cap of the brain, with frontal, parietal, and occipital areas, comprehending all that part of the brain which is the seat of the higher associative activities, reaching its fullest development in man. From Wordnik.com. [Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 4 Sexual Selection In Man] Reference
To enlarge the neopallium at that rate, however, meant that it would outgrow the skull. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
This new portion of the OUR NEBVOUS SYSTEM 147 cortex is the neopallium (nee'oh-pal'ee-um; "new cloak" L). From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
This usually implies an increase in the size of the brain and, as a result, in the cerebrum and neopallium. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
In the neopallium a greater variety of information is received and more complicated coordinations can be set up. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
However, there is a large expansion in the size of the neopallium, which spreads out to cover the top half of the cerebral cortex. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
With the larger and more recently developed mammals, therefore, the cerebral cortex, which by then had become all neopallium, must wrinkle. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
Some mammals, as they increased in size, enlarged the area of the neopallium more than in proportion, so they increased in intelligence as well. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]
It is the enlarged neopallium, then, which makes mammals in general more intelligent than any other group of vertebrates and, indeed, more intelligent than any group of invertebrates. From Wordnik.com. [The Human Brain]

It should be premised that Elliot Smith divides the brain into rhinencephalon and neopallium. From Wordnik.com. [Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 4 Sexual Selection In Man] Reference
The neopallium (Fig. 656) forms the remaining, and by far the greater, part of the cerebral hemisphere. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 2. Development of the Nervous System] Reference
Elliott-Smith divides each cerebral hemisphere into three fundamental parts, viz., the rhinencephalon, the corpus striatum, and the neopallium. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 2. Development of the Nervous System] Reference
But when the neopallium, or the cerebrum, is considered, the enormous superiority of man (and the superiority of the higher over the lower animals) becomes striking. From Wordnik.com. [The Foundations of Personality] Reference
As previously stated (see page 744), each cerebral hemisphere may be divided into three fundamental parts, viz., the rhinencephalon, the corpus striatum, and the neopallium. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
They were thus regarded as a part of the rhinencephalon, but it is now recognized that they belong to the neopallium; the cingulate gyrus is therefore sometimes described as a part of the frontal lobe, and the hippocampal as a part of the temporal lobe. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
Third, the neopallium, or cerebrum, is characterized by what are known as association tracts, i.e., connections of intricate kinds which link together areas of the brain having different functions and thus allow for combinations of activity of all kinds. From Wordnik.com. [The Foundations of Personality] Reference

The neopallium was developed further in that group of reptiles which, about 100 million years ago or so, underwent some remarkable changes " changing scales into hair, developing warm-bloodedness, and, in general, becoming mammals, the most complex and successful class of Vertebrata.
