Amygdalic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to almonds; derived from amygdalin; as, amygdalic acid.
Example Sentences:

(2) The subjects with electroencephalographic and sensory signs of stimulating reticular-hypothalamic-amygdalic effects balanced with inhibitory cortical-striatic-septic-hippocampal-epiphyseal effects showed a high oxygen consumption, moderate excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, moderate plasma concentrations of ACTH, cortisol, total and free 11-OHCS and insulin, relatively high concentrations of STH, as well as specific dynamics of hormonal and metabolic reactions to aerobic effects.
