of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing human brain. MethodA literature search was …

The detrimental effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing brain include
structural brain anomalies as well as cognitive and behavioral deficits. Initial neuroimaging …

Our previous studies revealed abnormalities on structural MRI (sMRI) in small groups of
children exposed to alcohol prenatally. Microcephaly, disproportionately reduced basal …

Since the identification of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome over 40 years ago, much has been
learned about the detrimental effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing brain …

Prenatal alcohol exposure has numerous effects on the developing brain, including damage
to selective brain structure. We review structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies …

Neuroimaging studies have indicated that prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with
alterations in the structure of specific brain regions. However, the temporal specificity of such …

Children of mothers who abuse alcohol during pregnancy can suffer varying degrees of
neurological abnormality, cognitive impairment, and behavioral problems, and in the worst …

Brain imaging studies suggest that cortical thickness decreases during childhood and
adolescence, in concert with underlying structural and synaptic changes required for …

Human and animal studies have clearly demonstrated that alcohol is both a physical and
