The '''Central Core''' is hard-wired into the mainframe of Aperture Laboratories, and is provided with the power to control and regulate the entire Facility. The central core is capable of overseeing all of the events that occur within monitored areas of the Facility, creating and stockpiling test chambers, constructing and dispensing [[Turrets]], and activating core functions among other things. Unlike the personality cores, the central core does not need to possess a spherical shape, but must remain uncorrupted and stable at all times lest it be replaced by a Stalemate Resolution Associate.

{{spoiler|During the events of ''Portal 2'', it becomes apparent that any form of personality core would be more than qualified to be hardwired into the mainframe to become a central core. This is a feature preset by Aperture as a means of replacing rogue or simply corrupted central AI; and if the central core happens to disagree with their impeachment, a Stalemate Resolution Associate will have to force the replacement procedure.}}
 
[[GLaDOS]], whom was designed with the sole purpose of being the central core herself; did not need to possess a spherical shape like other personality cores.
