Characterization of White Matter Microstructure in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Exposure to alcohol during gestation is associated with CNS alterations, cognitive deficits, and behavior problems. This study investigated microstructural aspects of putative white matter abnormalities following prenatal alcohol exposure. METHODS: Diffusion tensor imaging was used to assess white matter microstructure in 27 youth (age range: 8 to 18 years) with (n = 15) and without (n = 12) histories...
