Abstract
The claustrum is an important complex neuronal anatomic brain
structure whose evolutionary process remains elucidated. The
structure in question plays a key role in cognitive and sensory
performances. Although it is an increasingly researched topic,
especially regarding the importance of differences in children and
adults with developmental differences, it is still possible to find
very few publications. There are also studies arguing that
claustrum is important for the risks of conditions such as autism,
depression, anxiety, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
and their response to treatment. In this short traditional review,
the general anatomical structure of the claustrum and some
current research results regarding this structure will be evaluated.
