I believe the answer is:

neural

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'objective' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neural that I've seen before include "Relating to nerves" , "Relating to the nervous system" , "To do with nerve of unreal kind" , "Nervy" , "Relating to a nerve" .)
