Fornicate gyrus
Gyrus fornicatus
Definition
The term "fornicate gyrus," although not commonly used, might potentially denote a composite area encompassing both the cingulate gyrus and the parahippocampal gyrus. Nevertheless, it is crucial to mention that this term lacks recognition or anatomical and functional definition in mainstream neuroscience literature. Each structure, the cingulate gyrus and the parahippocampal gyrus, has its own specific functions and is usually considered separately in anatomical and functional discussions.
