Incisura of the uncus

Incisura unci

Definition

Juliette Garnodier

The incisura of the uncus refers to a slight groove of the uncus, a prominence that borders the ventral end of the hippocampal groove, in the rhinencephalon.

The term "uncus" is used in humans and is replaced by "hippocampal tubercle" in domestic mammals.
