The new cells could prove important in the development of alcohol dependency and other long-term effects of alcohol on the brain. The findings are published by Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-04-26)

Key neural system at risk from fetal alcohol exposure
In a study of adult monkeys who were exposed to moderate amounts of alcohol in utero, scientists have found that prenatal exposure to alcohol-even in small doses-has pronounced effects on the development and function later in life of the brain's dopamine system, a critical component of the central nervous system that regulates many regions of the... view more...

Children are introduced to sipping and tasting alcohol in the home
Most studies of alcohol use among youth have focused on drinking by children in middle or high school. This study is one of the few to examine the earliest exposure to alcohol - sipping or tasting - in a large community sample of children. Findings indicate that the introduction to alcohol occurs long before adolescence, and it is an experience... view more... (2008-01-04)
Legal and ethical concerns over prenatal diagnosis
Hospital genetics units occasionally receive requests from women for prenatal tests for Huntington's disease when their male partners are at risk but do not want to know their genetic status for the disease. In this week's BMJ, researchers discuss the legal and ethical concerns that these cases raise. Cases like these pose considerable ethical and... view more... (2003-02-05)

Prenatal health strongly influences future economic success
While much attention has been paid to how inherited traits such as skin tone or height influence economic success, a groundbreaking new study from the Journal of Political Economy argues that it is a malleable characteristic - in utero health - that most strongly indicates how well a child will fare in adulthood. view more (2006-08-08)
Prevalence of prenatal brain damage amongst infant deaths investigated
The researchers are currently completing a two-year, Scotland-wide study of the prevalence of prenatal brain damage in almost 400 babies who died around the time of their birth. The next, linked, project will be to look at a possible connection between the apolipoprotein E gene (ApoE) and brain damage in babies. This gene has a known association... view more... (1999-10-28)
