The basic thesis for this study was that the telencephalon is
needed to make decisions in new situations. Subsidary hypotheses
were that the telencephalon consists of: (a) a sensorimotor system
which generates motor activity from sensory input and (b) a
selection system which makes choices from possible motor programs.
It was postulated that the selection system should fulfil the
following requirements: be accessible for past and present events,
have the capacity to process this information in a nondetermined
way with a possibility for ordering, and have access to
motor-affecting systems (the sensorimotor system). The ability of
the selection system to correlate information in a nonpredetermined
way was considered most important. In short: The selection system
should be able to associate any information in any combination, and
have the capability for internal control of neuronal activity and
external selection of motor programs (see Fig. IA. ) Xenopus laevis
was chosen as a subject, since it has a relatively simple tel
encephalon, with characteristics that it shares with "primitive"
species of different vertebrate classes, and because it is easy to
maintain as a laboratory animal. The main method used was the
determination of connections with HRP. The pallium was in the focus
of attention, since it was considered to be the core of the
selection system. Immunohistochemistry was used as an additional
parameter to compare Xenopus laevis forebrain with those of other
vertebrates.
