The prime purpose of this paper is to look at the region of brain
which many authors call 'paleocortex' and to ask how much of the
area it embraces can be described properly as cortex. Before this
can be considered it is necessary to have some idea of what
constitutes a cortex. Therefore, in the first part of the paper the
criteria used in constructing classifications of cortex are looked
into. Also considered is the meaning of classifications such as
'paleocortex'. Is it relevant to define cortex in this way? How
does this view correlate with a functional approach? The second
purpose of this paper, of equal importance to the first, is to
review terminology. Each area of' paleocortex' has a review
introduction that endeavoors to cut through the existing jungle of
terms and usage and to provide a clear account of the area in
question, prior to examining its standing as cortex. The term
'paleocortex' is in common use and for this reason it is worth
close examination. Kappers (1909) first created the term to
supplement the earlier division of cortex-into archicortex and
neocortex-introduced by Elliot Smith. Kappers applied the term to
the mantle layer of the most primitive vertebrates (cyclostomes and
selachians), the whole of which receives secondary olfactory
fibres.
