An Evolutionarily Conserved Mechanism of Calcium‐Dependent Neurotoxicity in a Zebrafish Model of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
11 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disability. Nonhuman animal models offer novel insights into its underlying mechanisms. Although the developing zebrafish has great promise for FASD research, a significant challenge to its wider adoption is the paucity of clear, mechanistic parallels between its ethanol (EtOH) responses and those of nonpiscine,...
