Synaptic Plasticity Abnormalities in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Cells, 2023 The brain’s ability to strengthen or weaken synaptic connections is often termed synaptic plasticity. It has been shown to function in brain remodeling following different types of brain damage (e.g., drugs of abuse, alcohol use disorders ...

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in a Newborn
Cureus, 2022 Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) can be suspected in newborns based on the maternal history of alcohol use during pregnancy and compelling physical attributes present at birth. The infrequency with which it is assessed during infancy makes FASD evaluation in newborns a formidable diagnostic challenge. Our objective was to evaluate a three-day-old

Neuroimaging and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders [PDF]
Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 2009 AbstractThe detrimental effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing brain include structural brain anomalies as well as cognitive and behavioral deficits. Initial neuroimaging studies of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed previous autopsy reports of overall reduction in brain volume and ...

Embryonic ethanol exposure on zebrafish early development
Brain and Behavior, 2021 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

Zebrafish as a Model for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 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 ...

Sleep problems among children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)- an explorative study
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2021 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

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder among pre-adopted and foster children
BMC Pediatrics, 2020 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.
