Drinking During Pregnancy and the Developing Brain: Is Any Amount Safe?

Trends in cognitive sciences - 1 Feb 2016

Charness Michael E, Riley Edward P, Sowell Elizabeth R

Abstract excerpt

Heavy prenatal alcohol exposure can have lifelong, disabling effects on brain and cognition. Unlike animal studies, research on light-to-moderate drinking in humans demonstrates less consistent impact. Discussions of negative research findings in popular media underestimate potential adverse outcomes and complicate decisions about risks versus benefits of light-to-moderate drinking during pregnancy.
