Abstract
The amygdala, or corpus amygdaloideum, is a large nuclear complex situated in the dorsomedial portion of the temporal lobe, where it forms part of the rostromedial and rostrodorsal walls of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle (Figs. 5.6, 5.7, 5.23, 5.24, 6.39-6.41). Its name is derived from the Greek (amygdalon) or Latin (amygdalum) word for almond, to which Burdach [28] compared its shape in the early nineteenth century. The volume of the human amygdala, as determined by MRI studies in normal subjects, is about 1700 mm3 [22].
