Description
The amygdala (; PL: amygdalae or amygdalas ; also corpus amygdaloideum ; Latin from Greek, ἀμυγδαλή, amygdalē , 'almond', 'tonsil') is one of two almond-shaped clusters of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain's cerebrum in complex vertebrates, including humans. Shown to perform a primary role in the processing of memory, decision making, and emotional responses (including fear, anxiety, and aggression), the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system. The term "amygdala" was first introduced by Karl Friedrich Burdach in 1822.
*[PL]: plural form
