Uberon definition : 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).;
