Neural structure in an animal sent up for dissection by an insurgent under Charlie (10)
I believe the answer is:
cerebellum
'neural structure' is the definition.
(cerebellum is a kind of neural structure)
'an animal sent up for dissection by an insurgent under charlie' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'insurgent' could be 'rebel' (synonyms) and 'rebel' is found in the answer.
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cerebellum that I've seen before include "motor controller" , "bit of brain" , "part of the brain" .)
