allocortex

The cellular organization of the allocortex is different from the six-layer structure mentioned above.

Archicortex, along with paleocortex and periallocortex, is a type of allocortex.

Examples of allocortex are the olfactory cortex and the hippocampus.

The Vogts imposed the distinction between iso- and allocortex.

The specific regions of the brain normally described as part of the allocortex are:

Periallocortex, comprising cortical areas adjacent to allocortex.

The paralimbic cortex, also referred to as the mesocortex, is interposed between the isocortex and the allocortex.

The components of the limbic system located in the cerebral cortex generally have fewer layers than the classical 6-layered neocortex, and are usually classified as allocortex or archicortex.

Reptiles developed a distinct three-layered structure of medial and dorsal portions of their pallium, a morphological schema referred to with the concept of allocortex.

The allocortex (also known as heterogenetic cortex) is a part of the cerebral cortex characterized by fewer cell layers than the neocortex (i.e. fewer than six).

The neocortex is the newest part of the cerebral cortex to evolve (hence the prefix "neo"); the other parts of the cerebral cortex are the paleocortex and archicortex, collectively known as the allocortex.

The allocortex subdivides into hippocampal allocortex, medially, and olfactory allocortex, laterally (including rostrally the olfactory bulb and anterior olfactory areas).

These cytoarchitectural abnormalities were mainly or exclusively localized in the upper cortical layers of the limbic allocortex, including circumscribed malformations, nerve cell alterations as well as cytoarchitectural deviations attributable to disruptions of neural migration in the second trimester of gestation.
