Allocortex
A phylogenetically ancient region of the cortex (cerebral cortex) which, unlike the isocortex (also called neocortex), has fewer than six cell layers – in the hippocampus, for example, only three. The allocortex is divided into the paleocortex and archicortex, as well as the periallocortex, which is a transitional form between the allocortex and isocortex.
