Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is a list (thesaurus) of keywords or descriptors that describe articles in MEDLINE Complete and PubMed. Indexers scan an entire article and assign up to twenty MeSH terms to each article. Terms are chosen to cover both the central aspects of an article (major headings) and other significant information discussed (minor headings).
By using terms from the MeSH thesaurus, all articles on a given topic can be found regardless of the terminology used by the authors.
To learn more about using MeSH terms in your searches consult the resources listed below.
