The specific regions of the brain normally described as part of the allocortex are: * the [[olfactory cortex]], which mediates [[olfaction]] * the [[hippocampus]], which mediates [[limbic system|limbic input]] The allocortex is also referred to as the "heterotypic cortex." == See also == * [[Cerebral cortex]] * [[Isocortex]] * [[Neocortex]] == References == * "Allocortex." <i>Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 27th ed.</i> (2000).
