Features:
*Histologically identical to the ''caudate'' - but not adjacent to a ventricle, i.e. an ependymal lining.
*Striatopallidal fibers [[AKA]] ''pencils of Wilson'' (also ''pencil fibers of Wilson''<ref name=Ref_PSNP23-24>{{Ref PSNP|23-34}}</ref> and ''Wilson's pencils''<ref name=pmid8985875>{{cite journal |author=Kimura M, Kato M, Shimazaki H, Watanabe K, Matsumoto N |title=Neural information transferred from the putamen to the globus pallidus during learned movement in the monkey |journal=J.

Notes:
*Histologically identical to the ''caudate'' - but not adjacent to a ventricle.
**The caudate is adjacent to an ependymal lined space, putamen is not.<ref>URL: [http://www.stonybrookmedicalcenter.org/pathology/neuropathology/chapter1 http://www.stonybrookmedicalcenter.org/pathology/neuropathology/chapter1]. Accessed on: 22 December 2010.</ref>
