- Facial features of FAS Intellectual disabilities and delayed development; Learning disorders; Abnormal behavior: short attention span, hyperactivity, poor impulse control
- Slide 3
- MouseHuman White arrows (left) and black arrows (right) indicate damaged corpus callosum. A and B are normal; C-F show damage from prenatal alcohol exposure.
- Slide 4
- We are interested in studying how alcohol affects all phases of brain development
- Slide 5
- Vapor Inhalation of Alcohol We use ethanol vapor inhalation to expose mouse pups to alcohol
- Slide 6
- Slide 7
- 5-Minute Blocks = SEM
- Slide 8
- We are now developing a method to examine how learning and memory are affected by developmental exposure to ethanol vapor. Above, you will see the components of the test apparatus.
