The parts sound comically ominous--the amygdala, the hippocampus, the uncus. From Wordnik.com. [Proust effect] Reference
With regard to the special senses, the area for the sense of taste is probably related to the uncus and hippocampal gyrus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
Although superficially continuous with the hippocampal gyrus, the uncus forms morphologically a part of the rhinencephalon. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
Other fibers probably pass to the uncus and hippocampal gyrus from the primary olfactory centers in the trigonum and anterior perforated substance. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
Most of the fibers, however, pass into the uncus, the anterior end of the hippocampal gyrus, and there end in the complicated cortex of the hippocampal gyri. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
The intermediate olfactory striæ are as a rule scarcely visible, the fibers terminate in the anterior perforated substance, a few are said to continue to the uncus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
The lateral stria is directed across the lateral part of the anterior perforated substance and then bends abruptly medialward toward the uncus of the hippocampal gyrus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
The rhinencephalon comprises the olfactory lobe, the uncus, the subcallosal and supracallosal gyri, the fascia dentata hippocampi, the septum pellucidum, the fornix, and the hippocampus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
The Hippocampal Fissure (fissura hippocampi; dentate fissure) begins immediately behind the splenium of the corpus callosum, and runs forward between the hippocampal and dentate gyri to end in the uncus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
It is merely a localized thickening of the gray cortex, continuous with that of the uncus; in front it is continuous with the putamen, behind with the stria terminalis and the tail of the caudate nucleus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
Anteriorly it is continued into the notch of the uncus, where it forms a sharp bend and is then prolonged as a delicate band, the band of Giacomini, over the uncus, on the lateral surface of which it is lost. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
The majority of the axons that arise from the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb and course in the olfactory tract course in the lateral olfactory stria to the uncus and hippocampal gyrus, and terminate in the cortex. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
The Subcallosal, Supracallosal, and Dentate Gyri form a rudimentary arch-shaped lamina of gray substance extending over the corpus callosum and above the hippocampal gyrus from the anterior perforated substance to the uncus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
The olfactory projection fibers which arise from the pyramid cells of the uncus and hippocampus and from the polymorphic cells of the dentate gyrus form a dense stratum on the ventricular surface, especially on the hippocampus, called the alveus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
Here it lies along the concavity of the hippocampus, on the surface of which some of its fibers are spread out to form the alveus, while the remainder are continued as a narrow white band, the fimbria hippocampi, which is prolonged into the uncus of the hippocampal gyrus. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference
Numerous collaterals are given into the plexiform layer of the subfrontal cortex, over which the striæ pass on their way to the uncus, where they intermingle with the apical dendrons of the medium-sized and small pyramidal cells of the pyramidal layer of this subfrontal or frontal olfactory cortex. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves] Reference
(e) The anterior perforated substance (substantia perforata anterior) is an irregularly quadrilateral area in front of the optic tract and behind the olfactory trigone, from which it is separated by the fissure prima; medially and in front it is continuous with the subcallosal gyrus; laterally it is bounded by the lateral stria of the olfactory tract and is continued into the uncus.

In man it is feebly developed in comparison with the rest of the hemisphere, and comprises the following parts, viz., the olfactory lobe (consisting of the olfactory tract and bulb and the trigonum olfactorium), the anterior perforated substance, the septum pellucidum, the subcallosal, supracallosal, and dentate gyri, the fornix, the hippocampus, and the uncus.

Usually the singular form of the word is first given, and the plural ending is added; e.g. antenna - ae, cenchrus - ri, desideratum - ata; but occasionally, when the plural is more commonly used, e.g. epimera - eron, this is reversed and the singular ending is added: when the two are different in form, e.g. foot and feet, the words are given separately, and so when there is a difference in the application, as in uncus and unci.
