Disturbed pools and muscular carp initially offering cerebral connection (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
corpus callosum
'cerebral connection' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'disturbed pools and muscular carp initially' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters is disturbed).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'carp' is 'c'.
'muscular'+'c'='muscularc'
'pools' put after 'muscularc' is 'muscularcpools'.
'muscularcpools' anagrammed gives 'CORPUS CALLOSUM'.
'offering' acts as a link.
