The uncinate fasciculus is a white matter association tract in the human brain that connects parts of the limbic system such as the temporal pole, anterior parahippocampus, and amygdala in the temporal lobe with inferior portions of the frontal lobe such as the orbitofrontal cortex. Its function is unknown though it is affected in several ...
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] The uncus is an anterior extremity of the parahippocampal gyrus. It is separated from the apex of the temporal lobe by a sulcus called the rhinal sulcus. [ 1] Although superficially continuous with the hippocampal gyrus, the uncus forms morphologically a part of the rhinencephalon .
Arcuate fasciculus. The arcuate fasciculus connects two important areas for language use, Broca's area and Wernicke's area. In neuroanatomy, the arcuate fasciculus ( AF; from Latin 'curved bundle') is a bundle of axons that generally connects the Broca's area and the Wernicke's area in the brain. It is an association fiber tract connecting ...
15857. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The uncinate process is a small part of the pancreas. The uncinate process is the formed prolongation of the angle of junction of the lower and left lateral borders in the head of the pancreas. The word "uncinate" comes from the Latin "uncinatus", meaning "hooked". [ 1]
Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] In the ethmoid bone, a sickle shaped projection, the uncinate process, projects posteroinferiorly from the ethmoid labyrinth . Between the posterior edge of this process and the anterior surface of the ethmoid bulla, there is a two-dimensional space, resembling a crescent shape.
The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
Neuroimaging. Neuroimaging is the use of quantitative (computational) techniques to study the structure and function of the central nervous system, developed as an objective way of scientifically studying the healthy human brain in a non-invasive manner. Increasingly it is also being used for quantitative research studies of brain disease and ...
By then taking MRI scans of healthy humans, the team confirmed that a similar process is occurring in the our brains as well—and that a “clog” in these areas could prevent waste from exiting ...
