The globus pallidus (external pallidal segment) as conventionally delineated in the rat extends ventrally and rostrally beneath the transverse limb of the anterior commissure, invading the olfactory tubercle with its most ventral ramifications. This infracommissural subdivision of the globus pallidus or ventral pallidum (VP) is most selectively identified by being pervaded by a dense plexus of substance-P-positive striatofugal fibers; the extent of this plexus indicates that the VP behind the anterior commissure continues dorsally over some distance into the anteroventromedial part of the generally recognized (supracommissural) globus pallidus; the adjoining anterodorsolateral pallidal region, named dorsal pallidum (DP), receives only few substane-P-positive fibers, but contains a dense plexus of enkephalin-positive striatal afferents that also pervades VP. VP and DP receive their striatal innervation from 2 different subdivisions of the striatum; whereas VP is innervated by a large, anteroventromedial striatal region receiving substantial inputs from a variety of limbic and limbic-system-associated structures (and therefore called limbic striatum), DP receives its striatal input from an anterodorsolateral striatal sector receiving only sparse limbic afferents (nonlimbic striatum) but instead heavily innervated by the sensorimotor cortex. This dichotomy in the striatopallidal projection is to a large extent continued beyond the globus pallidus; whereas the efferents of DP were traced to the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra, those of VP involved not only the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra but also the frontocingulate (and ajoining medial sensorimotor) cortex, the amygdala, lateral habenular and mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, hypothalamus, ventral tegmental area, and tegmental regions farther caudal and dorsal in the midbrain. The ventral pallidum can convey striatopallidal outflow of limbic antecedents not only into extrapyramidal circuits but also back into the circuitry of the limbic system.
