CNS nuclei
Explanation:
CNS: central Nervous System (sistema nervioso central). Comprende el encéfalo (cerebro + otras estrucuturas, como el tronco encefálico, en que se localizan las funciones vegetativas como control de la respiración y el ritmo cardiaco) y la médula espinal.
Aquí se refiere a que la bala afectó a núcleos o centros del SNC superiores, es decir de los que depende la vida, como los presentes en el tronco encefálico).
