#amygdala__amygdaloid_nucleus__corpus_amygdaloideum  an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behavior
  supertype:  basal_ganglion__basalganglion  any of several masses of subcortical gray matter in each cerebral hemisphere that seem to be involved in the regulation of voluntary movement
  part of:  temporal_lobe  that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying inside the temples of the head
     part of:  cerebral_cortex__cerebral_mantle__pallium  the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the gray matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum
        part of:  cerebrum  anterior portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans
           part of:  telencephalon  the anterior division of the forebrain; the cerebrum and related parts of the hypothalamus
              part of:  forebrain__prosencephalon  the anterior portion of the brain; the part of the brain that develops from the anterior part of the neural tube
                 part of:  encephalon__brain  that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord
                    part of:  central_nervous_system__centralnervoussystem__CNS__systema_nervosum_centrale  the portion of the vertebrate nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord
                       part of:  nervous_system__nervoussystem__systema_nervosum__systemanervosum  the sensory and control apparatus consisting of a network of nerve cells
                          part of:  body__organic_structure__organicstructure__physical_structure  the entire physical structure of an organism (especially an animal or human being); "he felt as if his whole body were on fire"
                    part of:  head__caput  the upper or front part of the body in animals; contains the face and brains; "he stuck his head out the window"
                       part of:  animal__animate_being__animatebeing__beast__brute__creature__fauna  a living organism characterized by voluntary movement
  part of:  limbic_system__visceral_brain__limbic_brain  a system of functionally related neural structures in the brain that are involved in emotional behavior
