[2/0]

Submitted by allen 16 months, 2 days, 21 hours ago
Heavy prenatal alcohol exposure does not always lead to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS); sometimes it can lead to cognitive and behavioral deficits in the absence of craniofacial features needed to make an FAS diagnosis. A new study has found that children and adolescents prenatally exposed to alcohol have altered responses in frontal-striatal areas, brain regions that may inhibit behavior. Results are published in the August issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
