nickel and Seizures

nickel has been researched along with Seizures in 7 studies

Nickel: A trace element with the atomic symbol Ni, atomic number 28, and atomic weight 58.69. It is a cofactor of the enzyme UREASE.
nickel ion : A nickel atom having a net electric charge.
nickel atom : Chemical element (nickel group element atom) with atomic number 28.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.
