  1. Prenatal Alcohol Consumption And It’s Relation To The Brain Fateh Mann

  2. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome • Disorganization that results from alcohol consumption • Mental illness is always present in some form • Alcohol maneuvers through the placenta quicker than the human body

  3. Growth Patterns • Experiment tested the brain size of mice • Nathaniel, Nathaniel, and Mohamed • Found that the weight of the brain was much lower • Body and brain grew at abnormal rates

  4. Similar effects on chick brains • Pennington sprayed 1 gram of ehtanol at the beginning of incubation • Findings were similar to previous findings on Sprague-Dawley rats • Blood alcohol concentration • Indomethacin lowers blood alcohol level

  5. Macaque Primates • Researchers knew the brain would decrease in size • Farber, Creeler, and Onley • Looked for apoptosis by staining the brain for damage • Found controlled neuroapoptosis in specified areas

  6. Related damage • Alcohol effects the mother as well as the child • Spontaneous abortions and premature births • Mental instability remains in the child

  7. Conclusion • Alternating Indomethacin to work affectively on mammals • Stem cell research using neurological stem cells
