# Create example co-occurrence matrix
terms <- c("migraine", "headache", "pain", "serotonin")
co_matrix <- matrix(runif(16, 0, 1), nrow = 4, ncol = 4)
rownames(co_matrix) <- colnames(co_matrix) <- terms

# Find term in matrix
found_term <- find_term(co_matrix, "migraine")
#> Found primary term in co-occurrence matrix
print(found_term)
#> [1] "migraine"
