CNS effect

CNS effect refers to the impact of substances or conditions on the central nervous system, influencing functions such as cognition, mood, and motor skills. Understanding CNS effects is crucial in clinical practice, as they can guide treatment decisions, particularly in managing neurological disorders or the side effects of medications.
