Amygdala
Topic
The amygdala is a paired, almond-shaped nuclear complex located deep within the temporal lobes of the cerebral hemispheres in vertebrates. As a key component of the limbic system, it plays a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses, particularly fear, anxiety, and aggression.
