Preferred Label : paleocortex;
Uberon definition : Part of the allocortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture. The other two are
archicortex and periallocortex. It consists of very thin, primitive cortex with few
clearly defined layers. It is distinguished ontogenetically by the fact that it does
not develop through a cortical plate. It includes the olfactory bulb, accessory olfactory
bulb, olfactory tubercle, septum, prepyriform area and periamygdalar area ( Stephan-1975
). (adapted from Brain Info);
Uberon synonym : paleocortex (semicortex);
Uberon related term : paleocortex; paleokortikale Regionen@de; paleocortex (Zilles);
Uberon Location note : Paleocortex is present in the parahippocampal gyrus,[1] olfactory bulb, accessory
olfactory bulb, olfactory tubercle, piriform cortex, periamygdalar area,[2] anterior
