CNS, central nervous system.
Preferred term is a distinct descriptor (single medical concept) for a symptom, sign, disease diagnosis, therapeutic indication, investigation, surgical or medical procedure, and medical social or family history characteristic. Preferred terms are grouped into high-level terms based upon anatomy, pathology, physiology, etiology or function. High-level terms, related to each other by anatomy, pathology, physiology, etiology or function, are in turn linked to high-level group terms.33
