Advances in Pediatric Research - Washington and Alaska Statewide Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Diagnostic Clinical Networks: Comparison of Three
Decades of 4-Digit Code Diagnostic Outcomes and Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
Histories
Both States demonstrated the feasibility and value of establishing Statewide
interdisciplinary FASD diagnostic clinical networks using the FASD
4-Digit-Code. Legislative support, centralized data collection, and use of a
single, evidence-based FASD diagnostic system have been key to the long-term,
ongoing success of these two diagnostic networks.

Neuropharmacology - Optogenetic stimulation
of corticostriatal circuits improves behavioral flexibility in mice with
prenatal alcohol exposure
Taken together these results suggest that stimulation of OFC-dS projections
can improve early reversal learning in PAE and control mice, and these
improvements can persist even into later stages of the task days later.

Neuropediatrics - Reduced Inter-hemispheric
coherence and cognition in children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
(FASD) - a quantitative EEG study
Our findings could imply hypo-connectivity between the hemispheres with
impact on cognition. We suggest that EEG coherence analysis could be a
sensitive parameter in the detection of electrophysiological abnormalities in
FASD with possible clinical relevance.

Kehitysvammaliitto (Finland) - ONKO FASD VUONNA 2024 VIELÄKIN TUNTEMATON?
Vuonna 1726 havaittiin alkoholin yhteys sikiövaurioihin. Vuonna 1968
havaittiin alkoholistiäitien lapsissa alkoholialtistuksen aiheuttamia
piirteitä. Vuonna 1973 FAS-nimikettä käytettiin ensimmäistä kertaa ja se
vakiintui kuvaamaan alkoholialtistuksen aiheuttamaa oireyhtymää. 2000-luvun
alussa alkoholin aiheuttamien vaurioiden kirjoa alettiin kuvata termillä FASD.
