The amygdala is a part of the brain that is involved in identifying, remembering, and responding to fear and aggression. It is named after the Greek word for "almond" because of its shape. The hypothalamus regulates many important functions in the body, but is not specifically associated with fear and aggression. The dura mater is a protective layer of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord, and the hippocampus is involved in memory formation, but neither is named after an almond.
