Uncinate fasciculus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As uncinate fasciculus (of lat. "Invading" - mark) is called a compact bundle of nerve fibers , the parts of the temporal lobe with parts of the prefrontal cortex (orbital cortex of the frontal lobe connects). These nerve fibers are particularly active in auditory language processing (ventral processing path; semantic long-term memory). They are also closely related to the retrieval of memory content from episodic long-term memory .

There is also an uncinate fasciculus in the cerebellum; it is part of the commissura cerebelli .
