La cinquième [temporale] est la plus interne des circonvolutions temporales. Elle est encore appelée circonvolution de l'hippocampe. Cette circonvolution se continue avec la cinquième occipitale et forme avec elle le lobule lingual. L'extrémité antérieure de la circonvolution de l'hippocampe s'infléchit pour former l'uncus. 3, record 15, French, - uncus
