English term (edited):
highest headquarter of the central nervous system
Selected
le centre de commande [et de contrôle] du plus haut niveau du système nerveux central
a " headquarter" in an army (or a corporate structure) is a command centre.
you could also call it a "Command and Control Centre" as the Central Nervous System is the physiological equivalent of an Army "Command and Control Centre"

The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind. It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.

: "highest headquarter" goes with brain, not with c.n.s. You are saying that the brain is the command center of the brain (or of the cortex). Ce n'est pas la même chose!

you got me confused - the brain is *a part of* the central nervous system - the ultimate / most elaborate processor of information.

Daryo
: trop littéral - dans l'anatomie humaine, un "siège" n'associe pas au système nerveux central // le corps humain c'est pas une entreprise ... et même pour une entreprise le "siège" n'est pas nécessairement le "centre effectif de gestion"

: Je ne crois pas qu'on puisse utiliser "siège" ici (brain = part of the c.n.s.), sans compter que ça risque de faire sourire. Mais Daryo a tort: plusieurs organes sont le siège de différentes choses/fonctions, au propre comme au figuré.
