Differentiating Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders From Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Reviewing Diagnostic Guidelines. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) present a range of neurodevelopmental deficits (e.g., inattention, hyperactivity, and executive dysfunction) which have shown marked overlap with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), making differential diagnosis challenging.

Quantitative Three-Dimensional Characterization of Facial Dysmorphism in Self-Identified African-American Individuals With Prenatal Alcohol Exposure. [PDF]
Three‐dimensional facial analysis identified distinct patterns of facial dysmorphology associated with prenatal alcohol exposure in self‐identified African‐American children. Reduced facial growth was most evident in children with fetal alcohol syndrome‐associated physical features, and characteristic alterations were observed in the eyes, nose, and ...

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and the Development of Multiple Risk Behaviors in Adolescence: A Birth Cohort Study. [PDF]
The United Kingdom has one of the highest estimated prevalences of maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy globally. Using Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) data, we examined how prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) impacts seven multiple risk behaviors (MRBs) developed at adolescence.

Neurodevelopmental Trajectories Following Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) interferes with neurodevelopment. The brain is particularly susceptible to the adverse consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure, and numerous studies have documented changes to brain anatomy and function, as well as ...

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Dysmorphic Features in Adults at Midlife. [PDF]
Dysmorphological facial features in individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), including those with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), persist into midlife. Controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, PAE/FASD predicted measures of palpebral fissures, the philtrum, and the upper lip, among other features.

Validity of an Online Cognitive Screening Tool for FASD: Testing the Equivalence of BRAIN‐online to Neuropsychological Assessment Measures [PDF]
BRAIN‐online, an online screening tool for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), was previously shown to accurately identify individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure. The current study demonstrated correlation and measurement equivalence to gold‐standard neuropsychological measures. BRAIN‐online and in‐person neuropsychological assessment also had

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Prevalence Studies in School Settings: A Global Systematic Review of Methods, Measures, Strengths and Limitations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Issues Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a prevalent yet widely underdiagnosed neurodevelopmental condition resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). FASD has profound lifelong implications for affected individuals, their caregivers and society.

Developmental Deficiency of Oligodendrocytes and Myelination in the Central Nervous System of the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Mouse Model. [PDF]
Impaired myelination was observed in the central nervous system (CNS) of the male fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) offspring associated with hyperactivity‐like behaviors, whereas the female FASD mice exhibit delayed myelin formation and normal behaviors, indicating a gender‐specific manner of FASD pathology.
