Area between the head and the rest of the body (4)

I believe the answer is:

neck

(Other definitions for neck that I've seen before include "Canoodle; isthmus" , "Isthmus; impudence (sl.)" , "One may get it in it!" , "A hard one shows some nerve" , "Isthmus - audacity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
