  1. Current research: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder David Gilliam School of psychological sciences

  2. Facial features of FAS Intellectual disabilities and delayed development; Learning disorders; Abnormal behavior: short attention span, hyperactivity, poor impulse control

  3. Mouse Human White arrows (left) and black arrows (right) indicate damaged corpus callosum. A and B are normal; C-F show damage from prenatal alcohol exposure.

  4. We are interested in studying how alcohol affects all phases of brain development

  5. We use ethanol vapor inhalation to expose mouse pups to alcohol Vapor Inhalation of Alcohol

  6. = SEM 5-Minute Blocks

  7. We are now developing a method to examine how learning and memory areaffected by developmental exposure to ethanol vapor. Above, you will see the components of the test apparatus.

  8. Water Maze Platform Locations

  9. Mouse Finds Platform

  10. Mouse Searches Platform Area

  11. As a student in my laboratory you will learn to: • Handle mice • Use vapor ethanol exposure chamber • Test mice in water maze • Record and analyze data • Write report Contact Dave Gilliam at: 970 351-2951 McKee 15a david.gilliam@unco.edu
