Patterns of ethanol‐induced cell death in the developing nervous system of mice; Neural fold states through the time of anterior neural tube closure

Abstract excerpt

Vital staining and routine histological analyses of mouse embryos 12 h after acute maternal ethanol administration (2.9 g/kg) illustrated that selected neuronal cell populations are killed. At the time of treatment, embryos had 5-15 somite pairs, corresponding to the developmental stages occurring in humans during the fourth week of post-fertilization; i.e. when neural folds are present and neural tube fusion...
