No the amygdala is now classified as part of the limbic system - in older textbooks it is grouped with the basal ganglia and it is connected to the caudate - a member of the basal ganglia.

The basal ganglia consists of the:
caudate
putamen
globus pallidus
substantia nigra
subthalamic nucleus

Between stages 17 and 19 of the development of embryos, the thickened amygdaloid body differentiates into the cellular elements that eventually form the basal ganglia.
