-
A white bundle, seen on the lateral aspect of the cerebral hemispheres, passing across the bottom of the fissure of Sylvius, and connecting the anterior with the middle and posterior lobes. The fibres of this fasciculus expand at each extremity, and the superficial portions of them curve or hook sharply between the contiguous parts of the anterior and middle lobes, whence the epithet 'uncinatus.'
