Usage examples of amygdalae.

There is a part called nucleus amygdalae that when stimulated, people fall in love with the first person they see, be it a man or a woman.

I believe that falling in love with someone just by seeing him, or after a brief chat, is due to some substance produced by the body, and I also think it has something to do with the nucleus amygdalae.

And one day I'll have a surgeon dig all the silicon out of my amygdalae, and I'll live with my own memories and nobody else's, the way other people do.
