Paleocortex

The paleocortex is the portion of the cerebral cortex, intermediate phylogenetically between the neocortex and archicortex, and which develops in association with the olfactory system. The paleocortex is less stratified than the neocortex and consists chiefly of the piriform cortex and the parahippocampal gyrus.
