caption_attribution_description: English: Very low magnification micrograph showing the interface between the globus pallidus (paleostriatum, lower left) and putamen (part of the neostriatum, upper right). H&amp;E-LFB stain. The prominent myelinated fibres that connect the striatum to the globus pallidus are known as striatopallidal fibres, Wilson's pencils, pencil fibres of Wilson, and pencils of Wilson.

context_page_description: The striatopallidal fibres, also Wilson's pencils, pencil fibres of Wilson, and pencils of Wilson, are prominent myelinated fibres that connect the striatum to the globus pallidus.
  Their distinctive appearance allows the putamen to be identified on light microscopy.
