The angle of junction of the lower and left lateral borders forms a prolongation, termed the uncinate process. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 2j. The Pancreas] Reference
Her study focused on a bundle of fibers known as the uncinate fasciculus, which connects an emotion-processing area known as the amygdala, at the bottom of the brain, with a regulatory area known as the orbital prefrontal cortex, at the front of the brain.

They are serially homologous with, for example, the uncinate processes of the ribs in birds (see Figs. 5 and 6). From Wordnik.com. [Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology] Reference
Microraptor/Cryptovolans has an uncinate process on its ribs which is present in all modern birds, but missing in Archaeopteryx as far as I know. From Wordnik.com. [New Archaeopteryx fossil provides further insight into bird, dinosaur evolution - The Panda's Thumb] Reference
The uncinate process runs posteriorly around the mesenteric vein, coming between that vessel and the vena cava. From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
The ventral part appears in the form of a diverticulum from the primitive bile-duct and forms the remainder of the head and uncinate process of the pancreas. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 2j. The Pancreas] Reference
Below the bulla ethmoidalis, and partly hidden by the inferior end of the uncinate process, is the ostium maxillare, or opening from the maxillary sinus; in a frontal section this opening is seen to be placed near the roof of the sinus. From Wordnik.com. [X. The Organs of the Senses and the Common Integument. 1b. The Organ of Smell] Reference
A curved lamina, the uncinate process, projects downward and backward from this part of the labyrinth; it forms a small part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, and articulates with the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha. From Wordnik.com. [II. Osteology. 5a. 6. Ethmoid bone] Reference
The superior mesenteric artery passes down in front of the left half across the uncinate process; the superior mesenteric vein runs upward on the right side of the artery and, behind the neck, joins with the lienal vein to form the portal vein. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 2j. The Pancreas] Reference
On it is a curved fissure, the hiatus semilunaris, limited below by the edge of the uncinate process of the ethmoid and above by an elevation named the bulla ethmoidalis; the middle ethmoidal cells are contained within this bulla and open on or near to it. From Wordnik.com. [II. Osteology. 5d. The Interior of the Skull] Reference
The hiatus semilunaris is bounded inferiorly by the sharp concave margin of the uncinate process of the ethmoid bone, and leads into a curved channel, the infundibulum, bounded above by the bulla ethmoidalis and below by the lateral surface of the uncinate process of the ethmoid.

The small cephalic lobe bore four eyes and five tentacles; each body-segment had on each side at the margin a tuft of simple setae directed obliquely upwards, and at some distance from this, upon the ventral surface, a group of thicker setae with a strongly uncinate bidentate apex. From Wordnik.com. [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference
The former arises as a diverticulum from the dorsal aspect of the duodenum a short distance above the hepatic diverticulum, and, growing upward and backward into the dorsal mesogastrium, forms a part of the head and uncinate process and the whole of the body and tail of the pancreas. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 2j. The Pancreas] Reference
Her study found that on the left side of the brain, which is associated with more positive feelings, the uncinate fasciculus was much thinner than normal, which could mean the front of the brain was less able to control those feelings in bipolar patients, sending them into hyperactive, sometimes grandiose episodes of mania. From Wordnik.com. [post-gazette.com - News] Reference
In the articulated skull this aperture is much reduced in size by the following bones: the uncinate process of the ethmoid above, the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha below, the vertical part of the palatine behind, and a small part of the lacrimal above and in front (Figs. 158, 159); the sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nose, generally by two small apertures left between the above-mentioned bones.

(a) The uncinate fasciculus passes across the bottom of the lateral fissure, and unites the gyri of the frontal lobe with the anterior end of the temporal lobe. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
The long association fibers include the following: (a) the uncinate fasciculus; (b) the cingulum; (c) the superior longitudinal fasciculus; (d) the inferior longitudinal fasciculus; (e) the perpendicular fasciculus; (f) the occipitofrontal fasciculus; and (g) the fornix.
