Confusing sentence

I'm not sure whether this part of the sentence serves some function: "located deep within the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem". Nuclei are clusters of neurons in the CNS, and I think that part is redundant if not also inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.74.83 (talk) 00:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. We are a website that develops because of volunteer contributions, so why not give it a go and create an account / edit it yourself! --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:55, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Nuclei only inside white matter in brain?

Are nuclei always contained entirely within white matter, or can they be separate structures outside white matter?UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 22:21, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Pretty much by definition, nuclei are grey matter. It's certainly possible to have two nuclei adjacent to one another, with little or no white matter in between. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:11, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
