A portion of the cerebral cortex that, with the paleocortex, develops in association with the olfactory system, and which is phylogenetically older than the neocortex and lacks its layered structure.

Signals being sent from the limbic lobe to the hippocampal formations can go via the archicortex as an intermediate.
