Magnetic Resonance Microscopy Defines Ethanol‐Induced Brain Abnormalities in Prenatal Mice: Effects of Acute Insult on Gestational Day 7

Abstract

Individual MRM scans and 3D reconstructions of fetal mouse brains have facilitated demonstration of a broad range of GD 7 ethanol-induced morphological abnormality. These results, including the discovery of cerebral cortical heterotopias, elucidate the teratogenic potential of ethanol insult during the third week of human prenatal development.
