uncus of parahippocampal gyrus

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0034773

The anterior extremity of the Parahippocampal gyrus is recurved in the form of a hook, the uncus, which is separated from the apex of the temporal lobe by a slight fissure, the incisura temporalis. Although superficially continuous with the hippocampal gyrus, the uncus forms morphologically a part of the rhinencephalon. The term uncus was coined by Felix Vicq dbAzyr (1748b1794).
