toluene and Seizures

toluene has been researched along with Seizures in 22 studies

methylbenzene : Any alkylbenzene that is benzene substituted with one or more methyl groups.

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.
