Brain: Periamygdaloid cortex
Latin	cortex periamygdaloideus

Periamygdaloid cortex (or periamygdalar area) is a portion of the rhinencephalon consisting of paleocortex.

The periamygdaloid cortex plays a role in olfaction.^[1]

It has been suggested that the left periamygdalar region may play a role in yawning.^[2]
