杏仁核（amygdala）

The amygdala is one of two almond-shaped clusters of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans. Shown to perform a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making and emotional responses, the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system. The term amygdala was first introduced by Karl Friedrich Burdach in 1822.

杏仁核是位于复杂脊椎动物(包括人类)大脑颞叶深处和内侧的两个杏仁状核簇之一。杏仁核在记忆、决策和情绪反应的处理过程中起主要作用，被认为是边缘系统的一部分。杏仁核一词最早是在1822年由卡尔·弗里德里希·布达赫提出的。
