NOFAS UK (UK) - Announcing
new projects and our upcoming name change
NOFAS-UK will be changing its name to the National Organisation for FASD. This reflects a national shift in thinking. FASD is finally being recognised by the Department of Health and NICE as a spectrum that has less to do with what a person’s face looks like and more to do with how alcohol exposure in the womb impacts how the brain and body develops.

Nordic Welfare Center - Identifying use of alcohol and other substances during pregnancy
The Nordic Welfare Centre has a long history of working with questions of alcohol consumption and its different aspects and contexts. While alcohol is a socially accepted substance consumed in all parts of society, alcohol consumption during pregnancy is a risk behaviour and can cause severe damage to the foetus.

- Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Alters the Number, Not Distribution. of Corridor
Cells at Embryonic Day 13.5
The distribution of cells was not altered by PAE. Altered corridor cell count could impair TCA migration and lead to observed sensory processing deficits in FASD. Future work will study Slit/Robo signaling pathways, which are involved in guidance of both TCAs and corridor cells.

Pregnancy Alters mTOR System in Rat Fetal Hippocampus
We conclude that chronic binge alcohol exposure during pregnancy alters mTORC1 signaling pathway in the fetal hippocampus. We conjecture that this dysregulation of mTOR protein expression, its activity, and downstream proteins may play a critical role in FASD neurobiological phenotypes.

Maternal drinking in pregnancy was associated with increased risk of offspring depression at age 18. Residual confounding may explain this association, but the negative control comparison of paternal drinking provides some evidence that it may be causal, and this warrants further investigation.
