Study explores how fetal exposure to alcohol can lead to developmental disorders and how the breast cancer-associated BRCA1 gene may play a role in preventing developmental disorders.
A neuroimaging study reveals significant structural differences in the brain of fetuses exposed to alcohol. Researchers found alcohol exposed fetuses had increased volume in the corpus callosum and decreased volume in the periventricular zone of the brain.
Exposure to alcohol in early fetal development hinders the development of brain areas associated with motor control, and the deficits can be detected in-utero via MRI neuroimaging.
Study reveals how acetate, a byproduct of alcohol breakdown, travels to the brain's learning system and alters proteins that regulate DNA function.
A new study from researchers at NYU Langone reveals a single dose a lithium chloride, a drug used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, may help to reduce sleep, memory and learning problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome.
A new study challenges conventional beliefs about fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Researchers discovered no differences in microglia activity in the brains of health mice and those exposed to alcohol during early development. The study brings into question the whether the brain's immune system cells are to blame for the neurological damage that occurs as a result of fetal alcohol exposure.
Researchers from Northwestern University reveal that, with the aid of two drugs, it may be possible to repair neurological damage caused as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure. The study reports both drugs help normalize genes that control DNA methyl transferase1 expression, an enzyme critical for brain development.
A new study reports cells damaged before birth may provide an increased risk of psychiatric disorders later in life.
Teenage binge drinking isn't just dangerous for teenage brain development, it may also affect the impact of their future children, researchers report.
A new study shows neurodevelopment is delayed throughout childhood and adolescence for those born with FASD.
Research have identified a signaling pathway that might determine genetic susceptibility for the development of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
