What is another word for paleostriatum?
Pronunciation: [pˌe͡ɪliːə͡ʊstɹa͡ɪˈɑːtəm] (IPA) 
Paleostriatum, also known as the dorsomedial striatum or matrix striatum, is a structure in the brain that plays an important role in motor control and reward processing. In order to better understand the functions of this structure, it is useful to consider synonyms or alternative names that have been used to describe it. For instance, researchers may refer to the paleostriatum as the "primitive striatum" or the "evolutionarily conserved striatum," highlighting its evolutionary significance. Other related terms include the neostriatum, which is a structurally distinct but functionally interconnected region of the striatum, and the basal ganglia, which encompasses both the paleostriatum and neostriatum as well as other brain structures involved in movement and cognition.
