Overview

The amygdala (Latin: corpus amygdaloideum; Greek: ἀμγδαλή) is an almond-shaped cluster of nuclei located deep within the temporal lobes of the brain, specifically above the anterior tip of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle, lateral to the parahippocampal gyrus, with its top connected to the tail of the caudate nucleus.
