Kernkomplex
Kernkomplex is a German term that translates roughly to “nucleus complex.” In scientific writing it is not a fixed, universally defined term; its meaning depends on the discipline and the author.

In cell biology and molecular biology, Kernkomplex is sometimes employed to describe a set of macromolecular
In neuroscience and anatomy, the term may be used more loosely to refer to a functional cluster
Usage and cautions: Because Kernkomplex lacks a single fixed definition, readers should consult the original text
