Embryonic ethanol exposure on zebrafish early development
Introduction Embryonic exposure to ethanol leads to a condition of physical, behavioral, and cognitive deficiencies named fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The most severe variations are in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which is easier to diagnose

The Genetics of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
The term “fetal alcohol spectrum disorders” (FASD) defines the full range of ethanol (EtOH)‐induced birth defects. Numerous variables influence the phenotypic outcomes of embryonic EtOHexposure. Among these variables, genetics appears to play an important role, yet our understanding of the genetic predisposition toFASDis still in its infancy. We review

Zebrafish as a Model for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
In this review, we will discuss zebrafish as a model for studying mechanisms of human fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). We will overview the studies on FASDs so far and will discuss with specific focus on the mechanisms by which alcohol alters ...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder among pre-adopted and foster children
Background Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disorders. Children in foster care or domestically adopted are at greater risk for FASD.

Alcohol exposure during late gestation: Multiple developmental outcomes in sheep [PDF]
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy remains common in many countries. Exposure to even low amounts of alcohol (i.e. ethanol) in pregnancy can lead to the heterogeneous fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), while heavy alcohol consumption can result ...

Neuroimaging and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders [PDF]
Heavy prenatal alcohol exposure causes permanent structural alterations to the brain and can lead to numerous cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Consistent with many of the neuropsychological and behavioral deficits that have been reported, neuroimaging studies reveal a pattern of structural abnormalities associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. This

Sleep problems among children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)- an explorative study
Background Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is a group of conditions resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Patients with FASD experience a variety of neuropsychological symptoms resulting from central nervous system impairment. Little is

Study protocol: asking questions about alcohol in pregnancy (AQUA): a longitudinal cohort study of fetal effects of low to moderate alcohol exposure [PDF]
Despite extensive research, a direct correlation between low to moderate prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders has been elusive.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: An Overview [PDF]
When fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) was initially described, diagnosis was based upon physical parameters including facial anomalies and growth retardation, with evidence of developmental delay or mental deficiency. Forty years of research has shown that FAS lies towards the extreme end of what are now termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

At an estimated prevalence of up to five percent in the general population, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are the most common neurodevelopmental disorder, at least if not more prevalent than autism (2.3%). Despite this prevalence in the general
