The globi pallidi (singular: globus pallidus) are paired structures belonging to the basal nuclei, commonly known as the basal ganglia. Each globus pallidus is a subcortical structure at the base of the forebrain closely related to the caudate nucleus and putamen. Together with the ipsilateral putamen they form the lentiform nuclei.
Each globus pallidus is itself subdivided into two parts, the globus pallidus internus and globus pallidus externus, separated by an internal medullary lamina (see Figure 6).
Developmentally, the globus pallidus is a part of the diencephalon that has migrated to the telencephalon, but it is still considered to be part of the basal ganglia.
