The amygdaloid body is also known as the amygdaloid nucleus.

This is an oval
structure located within the temporal lobe of the human brain. The structure is a
small part of the brain and is closely associated with the hypothalamus,
cingulated gyrus, and hippocampus.
Smelling, motivation, and emotional responses are facilitated by the olfactory
and limbic systems, which are partially made up of the amygdaloid body. The
amygdaloid body was named for its almond shape. Amydale is the Greek word
for almond, and eidos is the Greek word for like.
The amygdala is an important part of the brain, which assists in responses of
fear and pleasure. The abnormal working of the amygdaloid body can lead to
various clinical conditions including developmental delay, depression, anxiety,
and autism.
