victims of alcohol
Use of alcohol
during pregnancy is among the most common causes of intellectual
disability acquired during infancy. A condition termed fetal alcohol
syndrome (FAS) is totally preventable by pregnant women abstaining
completely from drinking alcoholic beverages.

A Saskatchewan
university professor says Canada needs to step up its support and
services for those living with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Both Jocelyn and
Benjamin have been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
(FASD). FASD is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that
can occur in an individual who is exposed to alcohol while their
mother is pregnant. FASD may cause physical, mental, or behavioral
effects, as well as a variety of other learning disabilities.

Birth Defects In New Born Can Be Caused By Father’s Lifestyle
Whenever a child
is born with a defect at birth, the mother’s lifestyle always puts
in question. But what is the newborn is born with fetal alcohol
spectrum disorder (FASD) even though the baby’s mother has never
taken any alcohol in her lifestyle. This shows that even a father’s
life style is able to affect the lifestyle of a newborn during
conception.

DELAWARE - Alterations to hippocampal neuroplasticity across the
lifespan in a rodent model of FASD
Alcohol exposure
in utero can result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorders (FASD) in
the child. Patients with FASD exhibit permanent structural changes in
various brain regions, including the hippocampus and functional
impairments in many aspects of cognition and behavior.

Second-Trimester Ultrasound as a Tool for Early Detection of Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Early detection of
fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) is desirable to allow
earlier and more comprehensive interventions to be initiated for the
mother and infant. We examined prenatal ultrasound as an early method
of detecting markers of the physical features and neurobehavioral
deficits characteristic of FASD.

Epidemiologic

Neurobehavioral Disorder Associated With Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
Children and
adolescents affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol who have brain

appropriately be diagnosed with neurobehavioral disorder associated
with prenatal exposure.

Mechanisms of Ethanol-Induced Developmental Neurotoxicity
During
synaptogenesis, the developmental stage referred to as the brain
growth spurt period, inhibition of neuronal activity can be
accomplished by blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA)
receptors or by excessive activation of gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA) receptors in the developing brain.
