==Overview==
An interface port for an individual's memcore is typically at the base of their skull.{{Fn|1}} An individual's '''intelligence core''' is made up of 2 components: the memcore processor and the [[cogitator|cogitation]] unit.{{EndnFn|3}}The recollection of experiences, their memories, can be inloaded or exloaded from one's memcore.
These neurological augmetics can be taken out and slotted back into place. It might have a [[plastek]] patch to cover the socket in one's skull. Another potential feature is a small reset switch hidden beneath the [[Machina Opus]] on the top of the memcore.{{Endn|3}} An individual might have multiple memcores.{{Fn|2}}
Some are reticent to tinker with their own memcores since mistakes could erase decades of hard-earned skills and knowledge, or potentially fry one's brain when reactivated within the housing of their user's skull.{{Fn|3}}
Aside from augmetics, memcores are used as data banks elsewhere, such as the cogitators of [[dataloom]]s.{{Fn|4b}}
