Editing Archicortex (section)

== Structure ==
The archicortex is largely made up of memorizing cells with two types of afferent synapses: excitatory and unmodifiable inhibitory synapses.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Marr|first1=D.|last2=Brindley|first2=Giles Skey|date=1971-07-01|title=Simple memory: a theory for archicortex|journal= Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences|volume=262|issue=841|pages=23–81|doi=10.1098/rstb.1971.0078|pmid=4399412|bibcode=1971RSPTB.262...23M|doi-access=}}</ref> Memorizing cell inhibition serves two functions: one is controlling synaptic modification conditions in the memorizing cell dendrites during learning, and the other is controlling cell thresholds during recall.<ref name=":1" />  Unlike the [[neocortex]], the archicortex lacks climbing fibers (fibers involved in the clustering part of neocortical classification).<ref name=":1" /> Consequently, the archicortex is not adapted for this type of classification.<ref name=":1" />
